I saw that the Ming army not far away was in great shape and its morale was like a rainbow.

The bayonets on the tops of the rifles they carried on their shoulders reflected dazzling spots of light under the sunlight. Together, they gave the Mongolians and Sun Chengyun a huge psychological impact.

The Mongolian cavalry has begun to feel a little timid. At first, the Sun family relied on this skill to line up and shoot, and defeated the Mongols. Now here comes the ancestors who line up and shoot, how can they win!

Sun Chengyun was thinking: There are 8,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry on the opposite side, and the most powerful of them are the 2,000 Green Battalion line infantry. It is not 30,000 versus 10,000, but 2,000 versus 8,000.

Unless his Mongolian cavalry explodes!

"Those who kill people in the Ming army will be given a thousand cattle and sheep and a hundred taels of gold!"

In order to boost morale, Sun Chengyun made a big move. As the saying goes, under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.

Besides, it is still unknown whether they will survive until the time to receive the reward. Anyway, it is a blank check now.

However, the empty promise works quite well, at least these Mongolians have become bloodthirsty!

When they looked at the Ming army again, they had subconsciously filtered out the firearms in their hands. Instead, they noticed that most of the Ming army were light infantry with light armor and short armor, and did not have the most powerful heavy armor infantry and spearmen to fight against the cavalry.

.

In this case, they don't have to be so afraid!

Although Sun Chengyun's promise was old-fashioned, it was still very tempting to the soldiers. The morale of the Mongolian army was immediately boosted. They roared loudly and were full of confidence in the rewards after the war.

The Mongolians' gaudy war cries made Gao Meng confused and scratched his head: When did you have such high morale even if you were willing to die?

Subsequently, accompanied by the low horn of the cattle, the Mongolian cavalry took the initiative to attack the Ming army's position.

Sun Chengyun also has his own routine in fighting.

He first let the Mongolian cavalry suppress the infantry cannon fodder.

Among the 20,000 infantrymen in Qinghai, except for 2,000 green battalion line soldiers, 5,000 armored infantry and 2,000 archers, most of the rest are slave cannon fodder.

Most of them don't even have armor.

Their only role is to consume the Ming army's ammunition with their flesh and blood.

In Steel 4 terms, they are line fillers.

As for the 10,000 Mongolian cavalry, they were not in a hurry. They slowly followed behind the slave cannon fodder and pressed forward. Although they were only moving forward slowly, they still put some pressure on the National Defense Forces.

Because these cavalry were very shrewd, even though they were suppressing cannon fodder, they always remained two miles away from the Ming Dynasty's position.

Because Sun Chengyun originally asked them to keep a distance of one mile, but found that it was not safe, and the artillery on the opposite side could hit them accurately.

Although they knew that the Mongols deliberately drove slaves to use as cannon fodder to consume their own ammunition, the Ming artillery still lit the fuses when the slave cannon fodder on the opposite side entered the firing range, and bombed the slaves at the front.

Without him, as long as he has money, Ming Dynasty will use its superior firepower to scare the opponent to death!

Accompanied by the deafening roar of artillery fire, forty black explosive shells fell into the army of slave cannon fodder.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Broken bullet casings and steel nails were harvesting the lives of slave cannon fodder. Such horrific bombings made the slave soldiers who only had a scimitar in their hands start to riot, and they did not want to move forward anymore!

However, Sun Chengyun just asked the Mongolian cavalry to send a supervising team and suppressed the slave soldiers.

They had no choice but to carry the Ming Dynasty's firepower and continue to move forward.

At the same time as our own artillery fired, the Ming infantry also stepped forward amidst the sound of intensive drums and took the initiative to face the Mongolian army.

They had sniper skirmishers with scopes at the front, grenadiers and line infantry at the back, in an orderly formation.

The goal of the sniper skirmishers is to wait for the Mongolian cavalry to approach and then snipe their cavalry officers.

Faced with cavalry, even with lightning-fast rifles with a range of up to 800 meters, the Ming Dynasty still relied on tight-line infantry phalanxes.

After suffering several rounds of shelling, the slave cannon fodder predictably broke out on a small scale. The slaves who were frightened by the shelling screamed and fled in all directions.

They wanted to escape this terrible place, even if they had to be beheaded by the Mongolian cavalry!

The slave cannon fodder felt that if they attacked the Ming army's position, they would die inexplicably, but if they attacked the supervising team in the rear, there would still be a glimmer of hope.

While running around like headless flies, they bumped into the Mongolian cavalry behind the team, almost disrupting the formation of the Mongolian cavalry.

There was chaos before the war. Sun Chengyun realized that the slave cannon fodder was unreliable, so he had better let the Mongolian cavalry charge!

However, this comes at a cost.

Soon, the Mongols entered the range of the Ming Dynasty field artillery.

The artillery of the National Defense Force ignored the fleeing slaves and fired at the Mongolian cavalry behind them who were preparing to charge.

Naturally, the Mongolian cavalry would not be passively beaten there. Under the command of Han Tai Jisun Chengyun, they divided their troops into two groups and charged towards the two wings of the Ming Dynasty respectively.

There was no space left in the middle, so that the regular army armored infantry could take the lead, and when the time was right, the green battalion line infantry would go into battle.

Gao Meng, who had already guessed the movements of the Mongolian cavalry, smiled coldly.

Then, the artillery near the two wings began to turn their muzzles and bombard the Mongolian cavalry moving towards the two wings.

Gao Meng's forward troops only brought forty field guns, which was slightly insufficient in firepower.

After the Mongolian cavalry took two rounds of artillery fire, they rushed into the shooting range of the Mongolian bows in their hands.

As for the Mongolian nomadic cavalry, they must ride and shoot first!

Immediately, the Mongolian cavalry mounted their bows and arrows on horseback, and while galloping, they suddenly shot cold arrows at both wings of the Ming army!

The arrows are thrown farther due to the inertia of the war horse, but the damage and accuracy are also greatly weakened.

These arrows did not cause trouble to the Ming army wrapped in fine steel!

Most of them didn't even hit!

Gao Meng saw this and shook his head: "Mongolians, they are only suitable for singing and dancing in yurts!"

Some people say that since firearms have developed to a certain extent, those nomadic people who were originally tough have suddenly become good at singing and dancing.

Firearms are one aspect, but another point is also very important.

It was the railway network, not automatic firearms, that ultimately defeated the nomads. Nomads who relied on animal power for transportation could not match the more efficient transportation methods of the industrial era.

The Cossacks' horses passed through the heavy rain of machine gun bullets. It was the last heroic song of the cavalry.

The withdrawal of nomadic people from the stage of history is an overwhelming victory of industrial production over the entire nomadic production and agricultural production.

When the Mongolian cavalry charged, it was difficult for snipers to shoot, but when they started to mount and shoot, the speed of the war horses began to slow down, which was the opportunity for the Ming snipers to show off.

The Ming Dynasty snipers who were deployed at the front in a skirmish line raised their guns and shot at the Mongols!
