Chapter 900 Lure the Enemy(1/2)

The sound of gunfire became more and more fierce, and allied war horses fell down row by row. The cavalry who rushed up first were either trampled to death by their horses or shot to death by bullets.

In a dozen breaths, two thousand-man troops lost more than 300 people, and more than 500 horses were killed.

It was the first time for the two thousand households to fight against the Ming army. They did not expect the Ming army's muskets to be so powerful.

They hurriedly slowed down the charge and observed the casualties of their subordinates. They soon discovered that although the Ming army's muskets were good, the soldiers' marksmanship was terrible.

Most of the bullets did not hit the soldiers, but some of the horses were injured. More soldiers were trampled to death by the horses than the Ming army killed.

Qianhu of the Kazakh Khanate and Qianhu of the Heshuo Khanate looked at each other, and Qianhu of the Kazakh Khanate shouted:

"Warriors, the Ming army's marksmanship is terrible. They can reach you in the blink of an eye after taking more than a hundred steps. Rush over!"

Qianhu of Heshuo Khanate also shouted:

"How can two thousand cavalry be invincible against two thousand infantry? If you kill a Ming army, you will be rewarded with two cows..."

The Khanate soldiers who had been beaten by the Ming army were a little confused. When they heard about the generous reward, they immediately rushed their horses and ran wildly, hoping to kill the Ming army and get the reward.

"Come on! Kill the bright dog..."

"Da da da……"

"Bang bang bang..."

They rushed quickly, and the Ming army's gunfire became more intensive. The Khanate cavalry who rushed in front were shot down one after another.

The fallen Khanate soldiers this time were not as lucky as before, with big bloody holes appearing on their bodies.

The distance of about a hundred steps was reached in an instant for the cavalry. The Ming army could not let them go unless they no longer wanted to live.

The coalition forces charged for half an hour, always standing still. Every time they rushed a hundred steps in front of the Ming army's formation, the front row of cavalry would be killed.

The coalition forces felt that they could rush over and kill the Ming army at any time, but often they would be knocked down by the Ming army's musketry immediately after entering a hundred steps. The distance of a hundred steps was like a natural chasm, which was always insurmountable...

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, and hundreds of soldiers who had lost their horses and turned into infantry, Qianhu could only order to stop the attack.

Seeing the coalition cavalry retreating, Luo Hu did not order to continue firing. The Ming army closed its guns and stopped shooting.

When the retreating coalition troops counted their troops, they found that more than 200 people had been killed and more than 500 wounded, with most of the casualties being Kazakh cavalry.

Thousands of households in the Kazakh Khanate cursed angrily, but thousands of households in the Heshuo Khanate secretly rejoiced because only a dozen cavalrymen of the Heshuo Khanate died in the battle and more than twenty were injured.

The reason is very simple. The Ming army invaded the Kazakh Khanate. In order to protect their homeland, their own cavalry must have charged harder than the cavalry of the Heshuo Khanate.

He turned to Kazakh Qianhu and said:

"Brother, the Great Khan asked us to test the strength of the Ming army, but it seems that the Ming army is not using its full strength. It is better to try changing the tactics."

Upon hearing this, thousands of households in Kazakhstan couldn't help but their eyes lit up. He thought this brother had some good ideas and asked hurriedly:

"Brother, do you have any good ideas?"

Heshuo Qianhu chuckled:

"This is a helpless act. Let the soldiers who lost their horses rush forward and shoot at the Ming army..."

"this……"

Upon hearing this, Qianhu Kazakhstan suddenly fell into deep thought. What kind of bullshit tactic was this? He was clearly asking his subordinates to die.

Seeing that the other party was silent, Heshuo Qianhu whispered again:

"The cavalry lost their horses and became infantry. After a while, the Ming cavalry rushed forward. Can they escape without their horses? Why not let them try the strength of the Ming army again, and then they will have an explanation with the Khan. If we take them back now

, what should we say, does it mean that arms and guns are very powerful against war horses?"

Kazakh Qianhu heard that what he said almost made sense, so he nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll fight as you say."

After the two thousand households discussed it, they immediately issued an order:

"Warriors, although Minggu's firearms are fierce, they are not accurate enough. Warriors who have lost their horses, rush up and fight them with bows and arrows..."

In this way, they slowly moved closer to the Ming army again, and hundreds of soldiers who had lost their horses walked in front with bows and arrows in their hands.

The cavalry also held their bows and arrows on both sides of them. After a hail of arrows from the infantry, the cavalry immediately launched a charge.

Luo Hu was very relaxed at this time, holding the loaded rifle and meditating on the spot to rest.

Seeing the coalition forces rushing up again, still holding bows and arrows in their hands, Luo Hu sent an order:

"Soldiers are preparing to fight. The Tatars want to shoot at us with bows and arrows. Be careful to keep a distance of 150 meters and don't let the Tatars get close. This time we can kill them with all our strength!"

"Here!"

The Ming army soldiers agreed and immediately got up and returned to their positions, preparing to shoot the coalition forces. The last time the coalition forces attacked, Luo Hu asked them to fake a fight, which was very unsatisfactory for the Ming army.

Seeing more than a thousand coalition troops coming up cautiously, Xiao Luohu rolled his eyes and said:

"Attention, when the coalition forces release arrows, you must seize the opportunity. One of the five people must pretend to be hit by an arrow and fall to the ground!"

"Here!"

Although the soldiers don't know what medicine Luo Hu sells in his gourd, they will resolutely carry out Luo Hu's orders and quickly decide which one will pretend to be hit by an arrow...

More than a thousand soldiers of the coalition cautiously approached the Ming army. When they were still two hundred meters away from the Ming army, the cavalry suddenly urged their horses to rush forward quickly. Almost at the same time, bows and arrows were shot out of their hands.

"Whizzing……"

These Tatars did not care whether their bows and arrows could hit the Ming army, their main purpose was to cover the advance of the infantry archers behind them.

They believed that as long as the cavalry rushed in front of the infantry, the infantry without cover would immediately become lambs to be slaughtered.

The two teams of cavalry rushed forward and shot the arrows in their hands, and then quickly withdrew from the two wings, leaving the gap for the infantry archers, who rushed forward quickly...

"Swish swish..."

At about 150 steps, the archers shot out arrows. They didn't dare to get too close to the Ming army, just to deal with Qianhu.

"oops……"

Unexpectedly, people suddenly fell to the ground in the Ming army formation, seemingly causing nearly a hundred casualties. The infantrymen were overjoyed when they saw this, and hurriedly rushed forward more than 20 meters, preparing to kill the Ming army at close range...

The cavalry who had just rushed over had already planned to escape. Suddenly they saw the damage caused by cavalry shooting to the Ming army. They rushed up again, preparing for another round of volley...

Just kidding, the Ming army was more than a hundred meters away from them. Bows and arrows could not hurt the Ming army, but rifles could easily kill them.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Shoot!"

Luo Hu did not give the coalition forces a chance to get closer. When the opponent entered 150 meters, the Ming army's guns sprayed out with anger.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Puff puff…………"

The coalition cavalry was immediately splashed with blood mist, and fell off their horses one after another.

This time they were no longer lucky, and many cavalrymen were killed.

"Bang bang bang..."

More than a thousand people charged, but more than three hundred people fell quickly. The expressions of thousands of households in the Kazakh Khanate changed drastically.

He found that the Ming army's marksmanship suddenly became more accurate. Just as he was about to give the order to retreat, he suddenly felt a cold in his chest.

He looked down and saw a blood hole in his chest, blood was spurting out, and the guy screamed and fell off his horse.

"Quickly retreat..."

The cavalry Qianhu of the Heshuo Khanate did not dare to charge at first, but when he saw Qianhu of the Kazakh Khanate being killed, he immediately gave the order to retreat.

"Bang bang bang..."

It was difficult for the war horses to turn around and retreat quickly during the impact. Just when they turned their horses' heads, hundreds more people were killed.

The most unlucky thing was those infantry archers who couldn't run fast. Almost all of them were killed in front of the Ming army's formation...

Less than 500 of the two thousand cavalry remained, and there were more than a hundred Tatar soldiers who had lost their horses.

At this time, the fallen Ming troops laughed and stood up to shoot at the wall. Only then did the remaining coalition forces realize that they had been fooled, and hurriedly urged their horses to run away...

Seeing the cavalry retreating, some soldiers without horses also turned around and ran away.

"Da da da……"

Zhang Huangyan held a telescope in his hand and saw everything clearly, and immediately ordered two thousand cavalry to pursue them.

The Ming cavalry, which was recharged, quickly rushed out of the military camp, leaving a passage in the middle of the trench to pounce on the coalition cavalry.

The allied forces were already demoralized by the killings, and when they saw the Ming cavalry dispatched, they ran faster than rabbits.

The Ming cavalry killed more than 200 people, and more than 300 coalition troops ran away.

They could not catch up with the Tatar cavalry, but there were still hundreds of infantrymen who had lost their horses.

Two thousand Ming army cavalry stopped their pursuit and turned around to kill the several hundred infantrymen.

It was a tragedy for the coalition forces who lost their horses. They were quickly killed by the Ming cavalry and did not even have a chance to surrender...

They successfully killed more than a thousand Tatars without letting the other side see the true strength of the Ming army. This was considered a great victory.

Zhang Huangyan nodded with satisfaction. Knowing that the main force of the coalition forces would arrive soon, he immediately sent an order to prepare for war:
To be continued...
