On the vast grassland, two clearly separated teams of men lined up with each other. Although the formation was still being adjusted, the real military appearance of Altan's troops had been completely exposed to the Ming army.

"It's a bit troublesome. There are at least 3,000 people in this team of Tartars who are Altan Khan's guards. The remaining few thousand people should be the elite under which ten thousand households. Our information is incorrect."

Liu Han said to Yu Dayou with a tense face at this time, in fact, he wanted to say that it would be best not to fight this battle. Before the opponent was ready, he ran back immediately. Four miles away, most of the Ming army should be able to run back to the military fort.

The news discovered by the Ming army before was speculated that it was temporarily recruited, and such a team was slightly insufficient against the ordinary Ming army, which means that the advantage of the number of people made Liu Han a little worried.

But now, the temporary recruitment of herders appeared in front of him. The cold expressions of the Tartar soldiers on the opposite side knew that they were professional soldiers on the grassland and they had to gain the upper hand against the most elite soldiers under their command. How could they fight this battle?

"Are the elite? Haha. Only after fighting will you know who is the elite."

Yu Dayou is still full of confidence in the soldiers he trains, with more than 100 Franc cannons and a thousand bird guns. Such firepower is unimaginable in Zhejiang before.

Although the Jiangnan Army used Western firearms early, it did not have the opportunity to use such a large-scale firearm troops in a concentrated manner.

This is also impossible. When Japanese pirates attack, they often have more than a hundred people on a few ships. It seems that Japanese pirates are used to not concentrating their troops to loot. They will only gather their teams when they attack county towns and other fortresses. The reason for this is that there is no main force of the Ming army around them.

In Yu Dayou's feeling, the soldiers he accepted were not afraid of fighting with the Japanese pirates, but there was no such opportunity.

The only time was that in the battle of Cengang, the Japanese pirates unexpectedly gathered a brigade to fight them to death, and of course the final result was to be eliminated.

As for the Japanese pirates who broke through, Yu Dayou used to be an accident at the beginning, but after so many things happened, it was no wonder that Hu Zongxian had to intervene in command.

Thinking about it, Yu Dayou was not worried at all at all, but became more and more excited.

When he was in the capital, Lu Bing was the person who was most skeptical about firearms. Although the Jinyiwei also equipped a large number of firearms, he did not look down on that thing very much.

Yu Dayou was very interested in firearms and supported a large number of installations, but none of them were as brave as the little guy Wei Guangde. The boy actually wanted to use a large number of Fran machine cannons and bird guns to form an independent army.

Well, Yu Dayou dare not think about such courage. He still needs weapons such as swords, shields and spears to guard against the enemy's approaching.

Today, we can try the intensive firepower delivery that the boy mentioned is the only way to eliminate the enemy on the other side. As long as there is enough firepower to strike, no matter whether the opponent has copper and iron bones or something, there is only one way to destroy it.

Although Wei Guangde also said that the bird guns are still a little worse now, but the quantity makes up for the quality.

Thousands of bird guns fired, and Yu Dayou felt afraid that no matter where the Ming army in this era would find a more powerful firepower than this unit.

After the Ming army was completed, the opponent seemed to be still adjusting the formation, and Yu Dayou began to slowly press forward while waving his hand.

The soldiers in the front row pushed the unicycle to start moving forward, and four rows of bird gunmen behind him formed a formation to follow, with hundreds of cavalry following behind them.

This is the entire Ming army's central army formation. The cavalry on both wings slightly distanced a little and did not lean closely with the central army formation.

They need to leave a distance to facilitate acceleration in cavalry charges.

Seeing that the Ming army did not follow the normal routine and waited for his arrangement before attacking, although it surprised the thousands of Tartars' households, it was also relieved very quickly.

All that was left was some fine adjustments. He didn't think that the remaining little adjustment would affect the combat power. Just rely on it like this, and just use the things passed down by the Mongols to defeat the Ming army formation first from a long distance shooting.

The Ming army placed a long military formation in front of them. If there weren't cavalry on both sides, two thousand people would go up and shoot arrows around the Ming army, they could have destroyed them all.

Don’t look at the chariots in front of the Ming army, they are only one side after all.

At this time, in the eyes of the ten thousand households of Altan's tribe, the three thousand Ming troops led by Yu Dayou were not as powerful as the cavalry on both sides of his wings.

Indeed, the Mongols had already summarized many battle techniques from east to west, which was the main reason why their ancestors were able to advance all the way to the Danube River Basin.

"Master Wanhu, just attack the central army of the Ming army."

At this moment, a short military general who looked obviously different from a Mongolian man rode his horse to the side of the Mongolian houses and whispered.

"Chief Qiu, I have this intention, I wonder if your subordinates can take on this position?"

The Mongolian Wanhu said to the guy who should be a Han person.

"That's what it means."

The person who spoke was Qiu Fu. He, Zhao Quan and Li Zixin were both named chiefs by Altan Khan, which means that the Han people they led formed a tribe on the grassland.

They were naturally behind this attack on the Ming Dynasty, so this time he led the three thousand cavalry that could be pieced together by Banshengcheng to attack the Ming Dynasty with Altan Khan.

After receiving the news of the attack from Banshengcheng, Qiu Fu immediately asked to see Altan Khan and asked a soldier from the Khan to come to Datong. He vowed to completely eliminate the Ming army that dared to leave the pass.

Qiu Fu knew very well that if the idea of ​​going out of the border could not be completely wiped out from the heads of the Ming army generals, if the generals from the nine sides ran to the grassland in the future, the consequences would be very serious.

At the same time, knowing that his nest was suppressed, Qiu Fu naturally wanted to take revenge.

"As long as your troops advance into the central army of the Ming army, I will lead both wings to attack the flanks of the Ming army and prevent them from disturbing you from destroying those Ming people."

The Mongolian households said to Qiu Fu with a smile.

To be honest, Wanhu actually looked down on this Han man in his heart, and his subordinates.

He was obviously a Han Chinese, but he always thought about going south to attack Ming.

In fact, as far as Wanhu knows, although Altan Khan seems to be reusing the people in Banshengcheng, he is actually always on guard against them.

These people are ambitious people. They should not be really attracted by Altan Khan's light, but because of their own ambitions.

What they wanted was nothing more than borrowing the powerful military power of the Mongols to consume the power of the Ming Kingdom so that they could have the opportunity to rebel.

If they really follow their wishes, the Khan sent all his troops south to attack Ming, and when he finally won, he would be afraid that these people would attack, and in turn he would fight with them, the Mongols and finally fight for the so-called Central Plains.

In the Central Plains, if the Mongol ancestors left behind, it was a wealthy place. Milk flowed in the river, gold, silver and iron pots were everywhere, and tea was growing on the trees.

All the Mongolians hope that the Khan can lead them south and return to that land, just

While the Mongolian Wanhu was still thinking, the Ming army ahead continued to advance and the distance between the two armies continued to narrow.

"Is this trying to limit our cavalry charge?"

The Mongolian households couldn't help but think, "It seems that the camping camp is a little too close to the military fort in front."

For the Mongols, when fighting, they must leave enough distance between them and their opponents to ensure that the war horses have room to accelerate.

The Ming people's current approach is obviously to compress this distance so that their war horses cannot run.

If you cannot raise the speed, the impact force will naturally decrease exponentially.

Cunning Ming people.

At this moment, a cavalry unit in the middle of Altan's army began to move. As the battle flag was waving forward, the cavalry began to slowly step out of the army formation, and as they continued to move forward, their speed began to slowly accelerate.

"Let Mingren go and fight for a while first."

The Mongolian households couldn't help but think in their hearts that you want to use us Mongolians, why don't we want to use you?

The Han people who came to Bansheng City who actively gathered there to farm there, the Mongols were not happy at first, but who said that the Mongols were not good at working?

Altan Khan stopped the tribe's actions that wanted to deal with the Han people, and instead exchanged cattle and sheep with them for food.

Well, at the beginning, everyone didn’t understand why they even waste cattle and sheep if they thought they could be solved with a knife.

However, over time, everyone will know that, especially after these special Han people arrived, Banshengcheng will now send a lot of food to Dahan every year, and build a palace for Dahan in the city. These tribal figures also have houses in their words.

As the horse team continued to accelerate, the thunderous sound of horse hooves sounded, interrupting the thoughts of thousands of Mongolian households. If you want to win this battle, then talk about anything else.

He no longer thought about things, but carefully observed the war ahead. He also wanted to command his subordinates to destroy the Ming army in front of him.

"aim."

At this time, when thousands of cavalrymen were seen in the Tartars formation, the wheeled chariots arranged in a row stopped.

Following the orders of the team officers, the soldiers who were pushing the carts before ran to their respective combat positions, and braziers appeared behind the wheeled chariots.

The gunner took out the Fran machine gun cartridge from the frame and put it into the barrel chamber, inserted the insertion plate to fix the cartridge. In the brazier behind them, one end of the tongs was burned red, and the air emitted a pungent smell of coal.

On both sides of the back of the chariot, the thousand bird gunmen lined up in four neat rows, and the barrel had already loaded ammunition. At this moment, the barrel was held diagonally above, waiting for the order to shoot.

Because the gunners need to fire cannons in front, the arrangement of the Ming army's bird gunners has made the position of the chariots, and each chariot is the boundary of a queue, so that the bird gunners can fire according to the command without worrying about accidentally injuring the gunner in front.

The gunner can also fire the gun with peace of mind without worrying about being shot by his own people.

The Fran machine cannon can fire solid bullets and shotguns. Because it enters the grassland, most of the shells brought by the Ming army this time were shotguns.

Of course, the result is that the range of the Franco machine cannon is even more severe.

Judging from Yu Dayou's test in Datong, the effective range of the Fran machine cannon using shotgun is about the same as that of a bird gun.

Therefore, before this battle, Yu Dayou made careful preparations, that is, the three guns in the front use solid bullets, the three sub-cookers at the back are all shotguns, and the newly loaded sub-cookers are also all shotguns.

Seeing the cavalry rushing towards the opposite side and about to enter the effective range of the Fran machine cannon, Yu Dayou issued an order to fire without hesitation.

A red flag began to wave continuously, and the cannon leader who saw the military order immediately issued an order to fire the artillery.

"Boom boom boom"

The dense sound of cannons exploded in front of the Ming army, and more than a hundred smoke and dust rose into the air. Almost instantly, the dense cavalry formation opposite reacted, and dozens of cavalry rushing in front fell down their war horses.

The solid missile flew into the Tartars. It was hard to see how much damage the first round of artillery fire caused, but it was still possible to see the ones that fell off the horse in front.

No one cheered, the insertion board was pulled out, the gunner reached out to take out the cartridge, quickly replaced it with a new one, and the companion next to him immediately inserted the insertion board again.

"Boom boom boom"

There was another series of gunfire, and hundreds of stone bombs were shot at the rushing enemy. The gunners still did not see the effect of this shooting. They still mechanically replaced the empty sub-cartridge, replaced it with a new sub-cartridge, and fired it again, just like a mechanical one.

In order to enable these gunners to develop such abilities, Yu Dayou didn't know how many wooden sticks he broke.

In the Ming army, corporal punishment was common. If you couldn't practice well, you would be beaten and hunger. Although it seemed cruel, it was the most effective method. Just like now, after these soldiers touched the cannon, they only knew how to launch mechanically.

As for the powder keg that was replaced, the companions behind him cleaned it and reloaded the ammunition.

After three rounds of solid bullets are shot, the rest is shot.
