Chapter 899 Send Troops(2/2)
"The killing is over? Impossible! There are tens of thousands of herdsmen here. Is it possible that the Ming army will not even spare ordinary herdsmen?"
Tan Ma bowed again and answered:
"The specific situation is unknown, but there is definitely not a single herdsman around."
The generals of the two countries were a little stunned by Tan Ma's statement.
The leader of the Kazakh army was the son of the Great Khan, and the Great Khan of the Heshuo Khanate personally led his troops.
Kazakh Taiji reacted and couldn't help but became furious:
"In order to prevent being ambushed by the Ming army, send an order to send a thousand-man team as the vanguard and advance at a high speed."
Hearing that the Kazakh Khanate sent a cavalry of a thousand men, the Great Khan of the Heshuo Khanate waved his hand:
"Come on, let's go up to a thousand-man team and join the Kazakh cavalry as the vanguard. First, we can find out the details of the Ming army..."
"yes!"
Seeing Heshuo Khan's loyalty, Kazakh Taiji was very moved and gave him a thumbs up:
"Thank you, Great Khan. I will definitely tell my father Khan when I go back. The Kazakh Khanate will have eternal friendship with the Heshuo Khanate!"
"You're welcome, we are an alliance..."
Two thousand nomadic cavalry led the order and immediately accelerated their speed and rushed out of the coalition ranks, galloping towards the Ming army camp.
In the Cold Weapon Age, cavalry has always been the most arrogant branch of arms.
After all, they have horses at their backs, so they fight with great strength and speed.
They believed that the Ming cavalry were all rookies and that the nomads had their own arrogance.
Along the way, he was very excited because he did not find any defense lines established by the Ming army, only the Ming army's probing horses running back and forth in the distance.
Some are just endless grasslands. The terrain here is flat, which is very suitable for large regiments to fight. It is also more conducive for cavalry to charge and give full play to the advantages of the Khanate's cavalry!
Two thousand-man troops from the Kazakh Khanate and the Shuo Khanate were galloping towards the Ming army camp.
The nomads lacked everything but cavalry. Their armies were almost all cavalry. This is why the Central Plains dynasty has been unable to completely eliminate them.
Zhang Huangyan sat firmly in the center of the army, with a military map of the Kazakh Khanate on the table in front of him.
At this time, the messenger came to report:
"General, the coalition forces are approaching quickly. Only two thousand people are rushing forward, while the others are lagging behind."
Zhang Huangyan had already received intelligence that the Five Nations Allied Forces had dispatched 100,000 troops to attack the Ming army.
What does it mean that there are only two thousand-man troops coming up now? It should be to test the strength of the Ming army.
If they find that the Ming army is not as strong as they imagined, they will swarm in and eat the Ming army. If the two thousand men and horses are quickly defeated by the Ming army, they will adjust their tactics.
Zhang Huangyan's brain was running rapidly, and after a moment he issued an order:
"The other side may be testing the strength of our army, and ordered the soldiers not to use big guns and mortars, and quickly line up in front of the trenches to meet the enemy. It is best to fight with them for a while. Once you find out that the main force of the other side is dispatched, retreat into the trenches and attack them hard.
beat!"
"Here!"
Yang Bao picked up the telescope and looked into the distance. He saw dust flying about three kilometers away. He put down the telescope and said:
"The other side is testing our strength and wants us to wait a little longer. Luo Hu leads two thousand brothers to form an array 300 steps in front of the trench. Try not to let them get close. Remember to hurt more and kill less!"
"Okay, I'll make sure the general is satisfied..."
"Brothers, form in three rows. The first row will shoot horses, the second row will hit people, and the third row will make up for the gunfire. Let's take it easy..."
Luo Hu smiled and immediately led three thousand Ming troops to climb out of the trenches and form array.
Normally, a general in a battle would order his subordinates to fight hard, but how could he actually order his subordinates to fight slowly and slowly?
Now the Ming army already has rifles in their hands. Unlike the old Western Vulcan guns, they often need to line up to kill, and there is no need for three rows of volleys.
"Da da da……"
There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and two thousand coalition troops quickly arrived about 500 steps in front of the Ming army's formation.
Seeing about 3,000 Ming infantry formations on the opposite side, thousands of households from the two countries' coalition forces couldn't help laughing:
"Thousands of infantrymen want to block our two thousand-man cavalry. It's a big joke. Warriors, charge..."
"kill……"
"Da da da……"
The two thousand allied troops raised their scimitars and immediately began to speed up. For the cavalry, about 500 steps would be reached in an instant.
five hundred meters
four hundred meters
three hundred meters
one hundred and eighty meters
"shot……"
"Bang bang..."
About 180 meters away, Luo Hu waved his hand, and gunshots rang out from the Ming army array.
"Ha ha……"
The Ming army was just like that. When they saw the grandfathers rushing over and started shooting from such a distance, would they have a chance to fire a second shot?"
When a member of the coalition army saw the Ming army shooting, instead of being afraid, he laughed happily, but his laughter ended in the next second.
""puff……""
A bullet hit his horse in the crotch, and a bloody hole appeared in the horse's head.
"thump……"
The war horse suddenly fell forward, and Baihu was thrown five or six meters away. At that time, it was thrown into the mud...
Before he could get up, he was immediately trampled to pieces by his companions' horses...
