The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 218
On the contrary, the Han army in the west fought better than the Mongolian army.

Because it was Li Soltai who was in charge of the attack of the Han army in the west.

He and Ding Yi are old rivals, and he is also considered a good general, so he is very cunning and can't make it by himself.

Back to before the battle.

Li Shuitai summoned all the generals under his command, and he said sharply: "The Ming army on the opposite side is extremely cunning, good at mining, and their guns are also very powerful."

"Li Jike."

"The end is here." Ding Lang, one of his masters, said.

"Lead the cavalry into the battle, but don't run too fast, run slowly, and see what the Mongols say."

Li Sutai would not let the cavalry charge at high speed like Wutu, he deliberately told his subordinates to run slowly, and look at the Mongols first.

"I will understand in the end." Li Jike immediately understood.

"The cavalry should not be too fast, let the Mongols charge first, and pay attention to whether there are pits on the ground."

"If you encounter a pit, you can charge if you can, and if you can't, get off your horse and use your horse to block the opponent's firecrackers."

Li Suitai followed every sentence.

"The rows of firecrackers on the opposite side are fired in turn."

"When shooting guns, the Ming army will kneel down in the front row, and you should try to squat behind the horses as well."

"After the fight is over, they will be able to have the second round at about sixty breaths."

"Rush forward immediately. When you reach the distance, don't shoot the spear and shield soldiers, but shoot the musket soldiers behind you."

"Try to shoot in the back row while they're squatting in the front row."

"No." All the subordinates heard clearly that Li Soltai's style of play was obviously several times stronger than that of Wu Tu.

Li Soltai said a lot of precautions. On the one hand, he deliberately delayed the time to let the Mongols charge first;

The subordinates heard that they all went in, but they had to make up their minds whether they could do a good job or not, and they could only obey their orders.

After a while, the Mongols took the lead in charging.

Soon, Azig sent someone to scold him, why not go up?

"Right away." After Li Sutai responded, he ordered people to get on the horse.

There are few people on his side, one thousand cavalry and one thousand infantry.

The cavalry is in front and the infantry is in the rear.

With the sound of powerful horseshoes, the Han army quickly launched a charge.

Li Jike remembered Li Soltai's words, he rode his horse in the front row, and ordered everyone not to overtake him.

They are not very fast, about 50 meters behind the Mongols.

Sure enough, as Li Shuitai said, soon, the Mongols fell off their horses and screamed again and again.

"Ni Niang, these smart dogs are really cunning." Li Jike yelled at each other. He turned around and said to the generals: "Slow down, slow down, and get ready for the gunfire."

The Han army began to slow down, and when they rushed 150 meters, they could already see that the ground was full of deep pits.

These pits are not big and not very deep, but they can't be seen from a distance at all, and you have to run to the front to see them.

"Minggou, bah." Li Jike yelled, got off his horse quickly, put his bow on his back first, then took his shield and knife.

Not all Han soldiers carried bows, and those with shields all carried shields, knives, and spears.

Then lead the horse and go forward.

Bang bang bang, at this time the Ming army had already started firing.

Standing here are the first battalion and the third battalion.

The third battalion of Mao Xin's troops was in front.

When Mao Xin saw that the Han army stopped charging, he knew that the general of the Han army in front of him was more flexible and could see what happened to the Mongols.

Moreover, the Han army led the horses and used them as cover.

"Fight." He saw that the opponent was running at a trot after entering 150 meters, and he couldn't run fast. It was a good opportunity.

Bang bang bang, the Ming army fired six rounds.

Fluttering, the people on the opposite side are turned on their backs, and more often the horse is knocked down.

This distance is the limit distance for the Lumi blunderbuss. If a single bludgeon hits a pawn, it may not be accurate.

But now that the troops are so dense, it is much easier for the Ming army to hit.

The Han army was prepared and led the horses with them.

But there is also a problem with this, that is, it cannot run fast.

Once running fast, the horse will fall or stop if it steps into a pit.

A large number of horses were hit by muskets, and a small number of Han troops were also knocked down.

The effect of this round of nearly 1000 two hundred guns is far worse than that of Mongolia.

Less than twenty people were killed by the Han army.

But the horses of the Han army were almost beaten by half.

Li Jike counted the sound of the Ming army's blunderbuss, and when he reached the sixth blunderbuss, he drew his sword and shouted: "Chong."

The Han army didn't even want horses, and rushed forward frantically.

Li Jike watched while rushing.

Suddenly, I saw Mongolian soldiers falling down like dumplings in the distance.

"Ni Niang." Li Jike cursed, and quickly swung his knife: "Stop, stop, stop."

The Han army began to slow down again.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was already sixty steps.

"Get ready to shoot the Ming army's musketeers." Li Jike shouted at the archers behind him.

"Don't worry, wait for them to squat down in the front row."

The Mongols next door and the Ming army were fighting in full swing, but their side was unusually quiet.

The Han army is waiting for the Ming army to reload.

Because they have seen that the overwhelming arrow rain of the Mongols did not cause much harm to the Ming army.

Soon.

Ming called over there.

"squat"

Crash, the spear and shield soldiers in the front squatted down one after another, raising their shields.

All the gunmen behind stood up.

"Shoot, shoot the blunderbuss." Li Jike was overjoyed and swung his saber.

Whoosh, whoosh, the Han army shot arrows one after another.

The Ming army was caught off guard by this wave of arrows.

Many Ming soldiers were shot as soon as they raised their guns, and many Ming soldiers fell down in the crowd, and the Ming soldiers screamed in pain.

But fortunately, the front row of the Ming army's musketeers were all equipped with iron armor. Unless they were unlucky and were shot in the face, it was generally fine to shoot them on the body.

Some people can still stand after being shot three or four times.

After this round of arrows was shot, Li Jike's expression changed drastically.

Because the Ming army on the opposite side didn't care about the overwhelming arrow feathers, and everyone remained motionless.

Someone was shot in the face and fell to the ground.

But many people were shot in the body, and they didn't feel a thing.

Looking from his direction, the entire Ming army's six platoons of musketeers, nearly 200 people, were hardly affected, and more than 100 people fell, most of whom were not seriously injured.

How did these Ming troops train?Stand still and shoot our bows and arrows?
That's right, the sudden rain of arrows all over the sky, except for a few people, most of the Ming army did not panic, and many officers were shouting: "Shoot, shoot with them."

"Don't be afraid, our guns can hit farther and harder than theirs."

Most of the blunderbuss soldiers of the Ming army wore iron armor, and military discipline could not make them squat down immediately and give up shooting blunderbuss.

Many people's guns have been ignited.

Right now, there is only one shot.

"Not good." Li Jike was startled, squatted down quickly, and shouted at the same time: "Shoot them, shoot them." He asked his subordinates to shoot at the Ming army.

But these Han soldiers were not Mongols, nor were they all professional archers. Archery skills were average.

Some clever ones followed Li Jike's example and squatted down one after another, and even climbed directly to the ground.

Most of them really dared to shoot at the Ming army.

Bang, bang, bang, the Ming army's second round of six columns has begun to fire in turn, facing the rain of arrows from the Han army, and fighting against the Han army.

The Han army also took the opportunity to shoot again, and the arrows flew like rain.

The scene was extremely spectacular. The Ming army and the Han army stood at each other and shot at each other, which deeply shocked the other soldiers and horses on both sides.
