Chapter 396 Galloping thousands of miles, soldiers are very fast(2/2)
Zhang Qin sighed. He also knew that after sweeping these fortresses and acropolis, the Tatar cavalry would not retreat.
The Tatar Khan did not bring his tribes to fight the Ming Dynasty, and the tribes under him would unite to fight him.
Therefore... fighting the Ming Dynasty can not only make a fortune, resolve internal conflicts, and also take the opportunity to weaken the strength of the tribes under its command. It is simply the most appropriate.
A few days later, the Tatar cavalry had already arrived at the city.
In just a few days, all the garrisons and forts outside Datong City were lost. Tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry were killed at Datong City.
At the same time, 50,000 Tatar cavalry attacked Dongsheng City, and 50,000 cavalry attacked Wanquan City.
The Tatar army advanced three times. For a moment, the Datong area of Xuanfu was full of wars, and the situation was in danger.
...
"Boom!"
The stone bullets bombed by the Tatar Hui's Huibo hit the wall heavily, and the towering city tower collapsed half of it.
"Fire the gun! Fire the gun! Kill those rebirth guns for me!"
A general on the city wall crawled out of the debris of the collapsed city tower and roared angrily.
After a while of roar, the general turned his head to look at Zhang Qin, "Sir General, where are the reinforcements! Where are the reinforcements? The casualties are too great. If you don't come, how can you defend the city?"
"How can reinforcements be so fast?"
Zhang Qin shook his head, "It is said that the court dispatched troops from Songjiang Prefecture, Nanzhili, to wait for reinforcements to come... the Tatars have returned after they have fought."
"Sure!"
The dirt-faced general cursed, "Do you have any brains in the court?"
As he was speaking, a loud trumpet suddenly sounded in the distance.
"Ding dying dying dying dying..."
The shrill trumpet echoed between heaven and earth.
Under the Great Wall in the distance, on a hill covered with ice and snow, a sun and moon flag is raised high, and the bright flag is fluttering in the wind.
"Boom boom boom..."
Below the hill, an army full of black clothes appeared behind the Tatar cavalry in neat square formations and in neat steps.
"That's... reinforcements?"
The tragic general looked at an army of tens of thousands of people on the edge of the Great Wall. His eyes were not surprised, but... shocked and angry.
"Where did this army come from? Who is the general who led the troops? How did he run behind the Tatar cavalry? Why didn't he lead the troops into the city? This is not what he is looking for when he seeks death!"
The dirt-faced general couldn't help but scold him.
General Zhang Qin was also speechless.
Since you are bringing troops to help, why don’t you enter the city? Why did you run behind the enemy? Can’t even figure out the direction?
It's over! It's over! This reinforcement is dead!
A mere ten thousand infantry, facing a hundred thousand Tatar cavalry, there was no need to fight this battle, and it collapsed with just one charge.
Are you here to support or to give heads to the Tatars?
What shocked Zhang Qin was that the army in black was actually formed under the hills, as if it was planning to fight the 100,000 Tatar Iron Cavalry head-on!
Apart from his commendable courage, Zhang Qin had nothing to say.
The appearance of this army also surprised the Tatar cavalry outside the city.
Tatar Khan almost laughed out loud as he looked at the black-clad army standing in front of the Great Wall and lined up with his back.
Where did the Ming army come from? Only 10,000 soldiers and horses dare to leave the city? Ten thousand infantry, facing 10,000 cavalry, isn’t this here to die?
"Telhan, take your people over and cut off their heads!"
The Tatar Khan waved his hand to a tribal leader next to him, "I'm ready to eat the milk wine, waiting to celebrate you!"
"Hahahaha! OK!"
Telhan laughed loudly and walked out of the military tent with a long sword.
The horn of the ox blew, and a cavalry of 20,000 people drove out from the Tatar camp and headed towards the Black-clothed Army.
Lu Li stood under the flagpole on the top of the mountain, raised his telescope and looked at the Tatar army in the distance, with a disdainful sneer on his face.
These Tatar cavalry were all cold weapons troops and had almost no threat.
"Transfer the order! After receiving the enemy for 500 meters, start attacking."
The reason why I got to a distance of 500 meters in advance was mainly because most of the soldiers under my command were just new recruits who had received three months of training, and they would inevitably panic when they went to the battlefield for the first time.
If you put it too close, it would be embarrassing if you were so scared that you threw the gun and ran away, it would be awkward.
"Boom!"
When the 20,000 Tatar cavalry approached about a thousand meters in the army, they began to charge.
The horse's hooves pedaled, the violent roar and strong vibration made people feel fear involuntarily, which was indeed a huge psychological test for the infantry lined up.
The new recruits in the military formation have become short of breath, sweating, and even their faces are pale.
If it weren't for the strict discipline requirements during military training that made them accustomed to obeying orders, these recruits would have been frightened and collapsed before the fight started.
"Catch the enemy for 500 meters!"
The staff officer reported to Lu Li.
