Tens of thousands of horses came galloping forward, majestic across the mountains and rivers. These Mongolians galloped on the prairie while shouting strangely, trying to suppress the Ming army in momentum.

The sound of hooves is like thunder, white snow is flying, and more than 10,000 cavalry are charging closer and closer on the snowy field!

The Mongols still used their best Lava tactics, which consisted of many cavalrymen forming a wide front, and the wings were arc-shaped and spread out...

The Ming army had three musket formations, each with more than 6,000 musketeers, firing in three rows, with more than 2,000 musketeers in each row, and each row of musketeers also included 500 riflemen.

This time Huang Degong, the commander of the Huben Army, Sun Yingyuan, the commander of the Longteng Army, Zhou Yuji, the commander of the Shenwu Army, and the three generals of the National Guard Army were personally in command.

Because rifles reload faster, the presence of rifles will make the firing of the musket array more violent. At the same time as the rifled guns are firing, the riflemen can definitely name the Mongols.

The Mobei Tatars had not yet fought against the musket formation and did not know how powerful the musket formation was. They thought they could easily defeat the musket formation, so they charged very quickly with almost no scruples.

Soon, the front row of Tatar cavalry was only about 200 steps away from the musket formation, and the Ming army officers could clearly see the hot air coming from the nostrils of the horses.

"One hundred and eighty steps, fire!"

The cavalry charged very quickly. At about 180 steps, Huang Degong pointed the sword in his hand toward the sky and loudly ordered to fire.

Almost at the same time, Sun Yingyuan and Zhou Yuji also gave the order to fire, and more than 6,000 musketeers in the front row of the three musket formations pulled the triggers:

"Bang bang bang..."

"Bang bang bang..."

"Bang bang bang..."

More than 6,000 bullets and lead bullets were fired rapidly at the Tatar cavalry:

"Puff puff……"

The bullets and lead bullets easily tore through the Tatars' cotton-padded clothes and armor, and penetrated into their bodies. The high-speed rotating lead bullets instantly shredded their skin, flesh and internal organs...

The more than 3,000 Tatar cavalry who rushed in front had already been killed by lead bullets and bullets before they could even raise their bows and arrows. As soon as they fell, their own cavalry rushed up behind them.

The iron hooves of thousands of Tatar cavalry horses fell like raindrops on their fallen companions, trampling the Tatars who fell to the ground and had no time to get up into a pulp. At the same time, the charging Tatar cavalry were tripped and turned upside down...

"Bang bang bang..."

The three-row firing of the Ming army's artillery array continued. Some Tatars were shot directly in the head on their war horses, some Tatars were shot through the chests, and some Tatars were shot in the thighs and fell off their horses and were trampled to death. Many war horses were shot and rushed out.

After more than ten steps, I screamed and fell down...

A Tatar, Qianhu, had just raised his sword to direct the charge. Suddenly, a bullet hit his forehead. The bullet easily penetrated his Tianling Gai. The guy turned over and fell off his horse without saying a word...

Because today the Ming army went directly to Kent Mountain, which was their holy mountain, which made the Tatars very angry. Although their companions fell one by one, their blood-red eyes were still rushing, as if the bullets could not kill them.

The Ming army was not worried about the fire cannon formation being dispersed at all, but was worried that the Tatars would not dare to charge and turn around and run away, because the Tatars were all cavalry, and if they did not dare to charge, it would be difficult for the Ming army to seriously injure them.

The Tatars' desperate charge was in line with the Ming army's wishes. The rifled guns fired volley after round, and the rifles were aimed at the Tatars. More than 10,000 Tatar cavalry charged desperately, but not a single one of them could enter the 120-meter range.

Ten steps later, corpses were strewn across the field in front of the Ming army's formation, and the snow-white earth was dyed blood red...

The three Khans of Khalkha did not expect that the Ming army's gunfire would be so sharp and fierce. They had never seen weapons that killed their cavalry on such a large scale. They fell one by one like harvesting wheat...

After reacting, Chechen Khan Zhasak Khan and Tushetu Khan quickly gathered together. Tushetu Khan had the idea of ​​​​retreating and said hurriedly:

"Two Great Khans, the Ming army's guns are really fierce. It would be better for us to retreat temporarily..."

Before Tushetu Khan finished speaking, he was immediately opposed by Zhasak Khan:

"We can't retreat. Even if the whole army is annihilated, we can't flee in front of Genghis Khan. The three cavalry families still have more than 40,000 cavalry in total. They can fight against the Ming army..."

"You...do you want our whole family to be wiped out?"

Tu Xietu stamped his feet with sweat, but he did not dare to lead his troops to retreat from the Mongolian Holy Mountain privately. He could only look at the Chechen Khan, hoping that the Chechen Khan could stand on the same front with him. He really felt that if he continued

If we go down, the whole army will be wiped out...

As a descendant of Genghis Khan, how could the Chechen Khan dare to pretend to be a grandson? Although he was panicking, he did not support Tushetu Khan's decision, but said:

"Don't let your friendship get offended. From my point of view, retreat seems a bit inappropriate, because this is Kent Mountain and we must go all out.

Ben Khan suggested that the warriors could avoid the Ming Army's firearms array and use the mobility and volley fire of the Mongolian cavalry to attack the Ming Army cavalry from both wings..."

What the Great Khan of the Mongolian Army is most afraid of now is the Ming Army's firearms. If he avoids the Ming Army's firearms phalanx and directly charges and kills the Ming Army's cavalry, it will definitely be beneficial to the Mongolian Army.

They did not think that their cavalry was inferior to the Ming cavalry. A year ago, the strongest cavalry of the Ming army was the Guan Ning cavalry. This time, the Guan Ning cavalry did not arrive at all.

Those who came to fight were all ordinary cavalry of the Ming army. What combat effectiveness could these little-known cavalry have? The Mongolian cavalry could definitely defeat them. This was almost the common idea of ​​the three Khans.

After the three reached an agreement, they immediately ordered the Mongolian cavalry to charge Bao Cao on both wings of the Ming army. Nearly 40,000 Mongolian cavalry rushed out in the heavy snow. They howled and screamed, and their cries were earth-shattering...

"For the great Genghis Khan, go ahead and kill the bright dog..."

Seeing the Mongolian cavalry charging up from all directions, Emperor Shenwu of the Ming Dynasty not only did not panic, but a smile appeared on his face. He knew that this was the best opportunity to defeat tens of thousands of Mongolian troops.

Zhu Cixiang raised his right hand in the air, a sword appeared in his hand, and a big horn appeared in his left hand. He raised the sword in his right hand, and shouted loudly with the big horn in his left hand:

"Sirs, this is the best opportunity to defeat the Mongolian army. Send me an order. The cavalry will form a three-row volley and prepare to fire. After the three-row volley is completed, all the cavalry will charge forward to kill the Mongolian cavalry in a wall-mounted formation..."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although there are large speakers, there are too many people after all, and the furthest distance is already five miles away, so it is impossible for his voice to reach every corner.

Generals at all levels quickly conveyed Emperor Shenwu's orders. When the Mongolian cavalry was still more than 300 steps away from the Ming army, the soldiers of the Fire Gun Square had already quickly mounted their horses, and 50,000 Ming cavalry quickly formed a formation.

When the Mongolian cavalry was still more than 200 steps away from the Ming army, almost all Ming army commanders gave the order to open fire:

"First row, fire..."

The first row of cavalry immediately raised their guns and fired:

"Bang bang bang..."

Burst after burst of gunfire sounded, the Mongolian cavalry charged from all directions, and the Ming army's muskets also fired in all directions.

The Mongolian cavalry who rushed into the range of the Ming army's gunfire fell to the ground one by one with the sound of the Ming army's gunfire, causing thousands of casualties in an instant...

The first row of Ming cavalry finished shooting and immediately lay down on their horses. At this time, the second row began to fire...

The second row finished shooting, and the third row began to fire. At this time, the first two rows of Ming cavalry were lying on their horses. The eyes of the third row of cavalry were wide open, and bullets and lead bullets were fired at the Mongolian cavalry...

The Mongolian cavalry who did not wear iron armor were unable to withstand the fire of lead bullets or bullets. Countless men and horses splashed with clouds of blood mist, screamed and fell off their horses, or even fell down with both men and horses...

The three Mongolian Khans were all confused at this time. They didn't understand why the Ming Dynasty had so many muskets and even the cavalry were fully equipped. How could they fight this battle?

But the cavalry has already shot out like arrows. At this time, it is impossible to take it back. The only choice is to let the cavalry under their command charge forward desperately...

"Kill the Tartars..."

"Kill the Tartars..."

…

After three rows of Ming cavalry finished shooting, they quickly put away their muskets and drew their swords, shouting and marched row by row towards the charging Mongolian cavalry...

The Mongols already knew that the Ming army's firearms had an extremely long range. If the Ming army dismounted and formed a formation to fight on foot, the opponent would retreat and continue to harass with small groups of cavalry, forcing the Ming army to waste bullets and disrupt their formation.

Therefore, in order to avoid crisis and defeat the main Mongolian force in one battle, the Ming army could only rely on horse fighting, which would be more conducive to chasing down the defeated troops.

The flags of the Ming army's military formation were waved, and the orders of the Chinese army were issued. The cavalry followed a skilled formation, using battalions as units, two battalions in groups, and formed a tight queue on the grassland, with people pressing against each other and horses charging forward...

Although they all have muskets, when the cavalry charges, they are basically running at high speed.

At this time, it was impossible to aim and fire normally for fear of accidentally injuring one of your own.

Therefore, muskets are undoubtedly a burden for cavalry charging at high speeds. Sometimes the cavalry thinks that muskets are in the way and simply discard them before charging.

Therefore, the Ming army's cavalry did not have a big advantage in firearms, and they could only rely on new tactics to widen the gap with the cavalry of the same era.

This is the wall-mounting tactic that Zhu Cixi proposed two years ago, which focuses on density.

In this tactic, all the cavalry are lined up in a line, and the distance between the cavalry is very close. Each cavalry is about one meter wide on the left and right, and a battalion of 400 cavalry is a horizontal row of nearly one mile.

They formed two battalions in two rows, that is, 800 people were divided into two rows at the front and back. The cavalry in the two rows were separated by about one meter to maximize the charge effect of the cavalry.

On the battlefield, a group of several hundred people could not create enough impact, so the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the National Guard Cavalry all launched a charge in groups.

Each group is ten meters apart and launches an impact at the same time, hitting the enemy one after another like a wave until the enemy is knocked to the shore and unable to move.

Zhu Cihong sat on his horse, the horse beneath him was restless and restless. He looked at the rows of cavalry formations beside him, and then at the rows of soldiers behind him. Under their hats and helmets, they all had resolute faces.

He suddenly had the idea of ​​killing all around, but thinking that once he charged in, it would definitely affect the soldiers' battle formation, he forcibly gave up this idea.

The Mongolian cavalry, which was charging very fast, couldn't help but slow down when they saw the Ming cavalry rushing towards them.

Obviously, they did not expect that the Ming cavalry could dismount and shoot and mount to kill the enemy.

The cavalry charge accelerated, and both sides began to deploy their formations and slowly move forward.

Seeing that the Mongolian army had already advanced and slowed down its charge, Zhu Cixiang issued another order from the loudspeaker in his hand at a distance of 130 to 200 steps from the enemy.

There was a sound of horns from the Chinese army, and the officers of various departments kept shouting:

"charge!"

For a moment, there was the sound of steel hitting each other, and the upright sabers gleamed with silver. It seemed that they felt the atmosphere of a battle. Some war horses snorted and stamped on the ground, making a noisy sound.

Slowly accelerating to the sound of the horn, rows of cavalry galloped in unison.

They were arranged more closely, and even if they let their horses gallop later, they were still closely united, and the rows of sabers only pointed forward diagonally.

Hearing the roaring sound and seeing the rows of Ming troops coming in front of them like iron pagodas and walls, the advancing Mongols were stunned, but many of them still looked sarcastic.

Tu Xie Tuhan chuckled and said:
