Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 58 Zhu Di, today next year will be your death anniversary

Luckber looked far into the distance and found that the Ming army was far away from each other. His purpose of a surprise attack had not been achieved.

Sending troops at this time will not only consume a lot of troops, but also lose the advantage of the commanding heights.

After much thought, Lu Kebo decided to wait and see what happened, waiting for Zhu Di to come with the Ming army to die.

Lu Kebo knew that Zhu Di would definitely not let him go. What he had to do was to wait and see what happened.

Sure enough, the Ming army formed a formation and rushed directly towards the top of their mountain regardless of whether they were tired or not.

When the two sides were within a stone's throw of each other, Luckber knew the opportunity had come.

Although the Ming Dynasty's army was close and ready, Lu Kebo had an arrow on the string and had no choice but to take action.

Lukbo looked at the tens of thousands of troops in front of him, slowly raised his right hand, and then waved it hard, letting out a deafening roar:

"Attack! Capture Zhu Di alive!"

"kill!!"

In an instant, as if a silver bottle had been broken, a black torrent poured down from Fushun Mountain.

The Tatar cavalry was condescending, and once it broke out, it was like carrying a powerful force and striking with thunder.

One hundred and twenty thousand iron cavalry, with thunderous hooves, rushed towards the Ming army at the foot of the mountain with the power of tigers. Suddenly, the sound of killing was loud enough to shake the heaven and the earth.

Looking at this scene, Lu Kebo was trembling with excitement. The Ming Dynasty army could not resist such a momentum and could only die under its own iron heel.
  Zhu Di, just wait to die!

At the foot of Fushun Mountain, a hundred thousand cavalry came in a mighty manner, and thousands of horses galloped, shaking the entire forest.

Arutai and Lukbo both thought that in front of such a cavalry, the Ming Dynasty would be crushed into powder.

However, what is unexpected is that just after the Tatar cavalry launched the attack, the Ming Dynasty army suddenly changed its formation.

Originally, the front line of the team consisted of infantry, standing with spears, forming a Mao formation to defend against the cavalry.

However, the infantrymen in the front row suddenly retreated from both sides, and a strange team suddenly appeared from behind the middle army, filling their positions.

This army is different. They don't hold swords in their hands, but firecrackers.

They quickly made up for the gap, then adjusted their formation, and pointed the muskets in their hands at the charging Tatar cavalry.

The Tatar cavalry were all stunned, not knowing who these Ming soldiers were.

But Lu Kebo on the mountain was different from these mud-legged people. He had seen the world and recognized these people's weapons at a glance.

But when he saw the weapons clearly, his hair stood on end, his scalp went numb, and he cried out:

"No, it's a firecracker!"

Luckber got the answer right, but there was no reward.

Following his loud shout, there was a sudden crackling sound at the foot of the mountain.

"Bang bang bang!" With this loud noise, blood holes suddenly appeared on the bodies of the few Tatar knights rushing at the front, and then people fell on their backs, and the few cavalry in the front were even more One after another fell down.

The Tatars had never seen such a terrifying weapon. They were all stunned, and some even wanted to ride away.

But it is impossible for the cavalry to stop charging down the hillside. The strong inertia will carry these cavalry down the mountain.

Although part of the cavalry was lost, there were still more than 100,000 Tatar cavalry, charging towards the Ming Dynasty army down the mountain like a tide.

Since there is no way to retreat, the only thing they can do is to close their eyes and rush forward with all their strength. However, at this moment, something unexpected happened on the battlefield.

The Tatars were about to rush into the Ming army, but the Ming army's formation changed again.

It was seen that the Ming army, which had been fired by the volley of fire cannons, did not stay where they were and was busy loading gunpowder.

Instead, they put away their guns and began to retreat toward the rear in an orderly manner.

In the Ming army's formation, a large group of cavalry immediately rushed out and launched a counterattack against the Tatar cavalry.

Along the way, Zhu Neng led 10,000 Duoyan and three-guard Mongolian cavalry.

Along the way, Qiu Fu led 10,000 Ming army cavalry.

Along the way, Zhu Di personally led 10,000 Duoyan cavalrymen and rushed to the front, killing them.

The cavalry from three directions, like a swimming dragon, rushed towards the Tatar cavalry. For a moment, the entire battlefield was filled with shouts of killing.

The 40,000 infantrymen of the Ming Army, also holding shields and spears, slowly advanced and began to narrow the scope of the Tatar cavalry's activities.

Bai Chu and Zhu Quan were arranged by Zhu Di to guard the central army and command 10,000 Duoyan cavalry as the general reserve force.

The armies of both sides started a fierce battle at the foot of Fushun Mountain.

Although the Ming Dynasty's army was all elite and their equipment was much better than that of the Tatar soldiers, in terms of numbers, Zhu Di could not open up a situation on the battlefield.

On the contrary, 70,000 Ming troops and hundreds of thousands of Tatars have been completely turned into a pot of porridge.

Fortunately, the Ming army's infantry formation still maintained a neat formation, swallowing up the Tatar cavalry bit by bit.

The cavalry led by Zhu Di, Zhu Neng, and Qiu Fu was even more powerful. They drilled in and out of the Tatar formation, making it impossible for the Tatars to muster enough strength.

As we all know, on the battlefield, what matters is formation.

Without the formation of infantry, they are just a group of stragglers, and stragglers can only be slaughtered on the battlefield.

Zhu Di knew this very well. Every time he saw signs of the Tatar cavalry gathering, Zhu Di would command Zhu Neng and Qiu Fu to outflank the Tatar cavalry in three ways.

The Tatar cavalry rushed down from the top of the mountain, expecting to be overwhelmed by Mount Tai and crush the Ming army.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Di first disrupted their offensive with the Shenji Battalion, disrupting the rhythm and formation of their attack, and then personally led the cavalry out of the formation, completely disrupting the charge of the Tatar cavalry.

If a cavalry loses its speed, its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Although the Tatar cavalry had a numerical advantage, as time passed, the Ming army gradually eroded the enemy and accumulated a small number. It can be expected that the final winner will be the Ming army.

Arutai watched this scene anxiously on the top of the mountain. Seeing the Ming army surrounding his army, he was extremely anxious in his heart. Looking at the defeated soldiers below, Arutai gritted his teeth and suggested:

"Great Khan, the situation is critical now. Only the Great Khan comes in person. In the name of the Great Khan, he can definitely inspire the morale of the army and defeat the Ming soldiers. Please also ask the Great Khan to personally lead the army!"

Arutai looked at Lukbo with hopeful eyes, but Lukbo avoided Arutai's eyes, coughed lightly, and said:

"I have been in poor health recently and cannot go to the front line to fight."

"Don't worry, I believe that I, the Tatar son, will not let me down."

Arutai was extremely disappointed.

Lu Kebo is still the same Lu Kebo, who cherishes his life when doing great things, and forgets his life when he sees small gains.
