Chapter 132 The big fish takes the bait
Chapter 132
No matter how much doubt Boyan is at this moment, there is no turning back when he starts work.
At this moment, he had lost the ability to adjust the offensive order again. All he had was that no matter what kind of problems arose, he would rush over and rush over.
To be honest, the dense cavalry charge of this group, and the earth hit by countless horse hooves, felt like the earth was shaking and the mountains and rivers were broken. This made many soldiers in the Beijing camp frightened, their hands and feet were cold, and their movements were deformed. They had already completed good tactical actions on the training ground, but they all became mother-in-law.
So much so that more than one hundred people retreated unfastly, and the cavalry behind them were swallowed up.
However, this situation made the Tatars believe that it should be the collapse of the Ming army rather than retreating.
It's just a turnaround next time.
He saw a chest-high obstacle blocking them, either other than a vehicle.
The formations set up by Qi Jiguang are all for firepower output, so generals use vehicles as obstacles to resist cavalry. However, Qi Jiguang puts the vehicles in the military formation. After all, in Qi Jiguang's view, the car is full of gunpowder. If it is detonated, it will kill his own people, and it will also make the gunpowder reserves in the army become very small.
Even decide the outcome of the war.
Instead, unless necessary, these vehicles are placed in the core position.
However, in order to facilitate entry and exit, it was not a neat wall of carriages, but a broken hole in the middle. But even so, the Tatar cavalry was harshly eaten. The entire carriage was slightly lower than that of the people. From the front, you could only see the Ming army's formation, but not the rear formation. In addition, the width of these gaps was very limited.
In an instant, it was like a vehicle that was originally driving side by side at high speed on eight lanes, but when the road conditions were encountered, it was instantly turned into a lane. But due to acceleration, it was too late to stop. Not to mention that there were a lot of followers behind them, even if their equestrian skills were so exquisite that they were far beyond ordinary people. If they could stop their horses in an emergency, they would be trampled into meat paste by the cavalry behind them.
In the blink of an eye, people were raised and horses were overturned. Countless cavalrymen were slammed and their heads were bleeding.
The power of these collisions was so great that several carriages even overturned and several gaps were broken.
As the most powerful force among ancient troops, the cavalry also showed the momentum of killing people and killing gods. Although they suffered heavy casualties, they were like wind blowing a broken dragon, and they still could not stop this wave of impact.
Boyan was extremely exquisite in riding, and his mount was also a top-notch horse. When he lifted the reins, he jumped in a hurry without running a run, but Boyan's mount still jumped over the chest-high carriage very elegantly and rushed directly behind the chariot.
After the chariot formation, there were not many soldiers, but a clearing.
There were hundreds of cavalry rushing in at the same time. These were all elite.
It was only at this moment that he was truly trapped in Qi Jiguang's final kill.
Of course, Qi Jiguang's ultimate kill also took a very big risk. On the one hand, the strategic depth in the military formation is very shallow. This is why Boyan never thought of Qi Jiguang's tricks, because the entire military formation is wide from north to south and narrow from east to west.
Qi Jiguang gave up this area and had already given up half of the space of the entire military formation. Even behind Qi Jiguang, the musketeers confronting the Taurus cavalry in the west were not far away.
If Boyan could still maintain the momentum of fearlessness, he would be likely to penetrate the Ming army's infringement formation from the middle.
On the other hand, Qi Jiguang had to admit that he overestimated the soldiers of the Beijing camp a little bit. One-tenth of the performance on the training ground was already very good. Qi Jiguang naturally understood this. Therefore, he measured the Beijing camp from this perspective at the beginning.
But I never expected that the strength of the Beijing Camp in this battle was worse than that of one tenth of the training ground.
Many middle and lower-level officers in the Beijing camp have participated in the Battle of Baideng, which is considered to be experience, but most of the soldiers can only be considered new recruits. The biggest feature of new recruits is that they can fight with the wind. When they encounter a battle with the wind, they don’t know how to fight crazy. But if they fall at a disadvantage, they are difficult to persist and lack resilience.
At this moment, Qi Jiguang naturally could not test these soldiers anymore.
He calculated accurately, and he made a move in one go, and he declined in two, and exhausted in three. The Taurus cavalry risked their lives to charge and break the chariot formation, which had almost consumed his courage and morale.
Qi Jiguang drew his knife in his hand and said, "Fire, fire, drop bombs."
Almost in an instant, the sound of guns and cannons was loud. The firepower advantage that was suppressed by Qi Jiguang for a long time quickly erupted out. The cavalry who broke through the chariot array suffered a steel storm in an instant. The most dense one was the volley of muskets, and then the shotguns were sprayed randomly. Of course, the shells were mostly arranged in the four corners, and Qi Jiguang only had some light and good mobility small cannons in his hands, and they were even the small cannons built by Zhou Mengchen in charge of military weapons. Their power could not be said to be too powerful.
More importantly, the grenade-bullet.
For various reasons, the grenade bombs were slightly heavier. Therefore, many soldiers dropped bombs at a relatively close distance and all hit the carriage. In an instant, the explosion cut off the Tatar cavalry from the middle. It seemed that this thin, intermittent chariot formation turned into a natural chasm, dividing the Tatar cavalry in two halves.
Boyan was lucky and was not injured. But his mount was different. He didn't know what was hurt. He just had time to hiss and fell on the ground.
Every era has different battlefield logic.
In this era, every general is dressed in a very sexy way, that is, even if there are tens of millions of people, he can tell himself from the tens of millions of people at a glance. This is also to allow soldiers to see their commanders at any time, thereby stabilizing their morale.
The same was true when Zhou Mengchen went to the battlefield, wearing a big red official robe, which was extremely eye-catching.
Now Boyan is the same. He is wearing Mongolian armor and a round iron hat unique to the Mongolians. He is wrapped in white fur coats on his armour, and there is no fur coat with mixed hair. After all, Mongolia is still white and is particularly eye-catching among the smelly Tartars.
In addition, the personal guards around him and even the reactions of the surrounding Tartars.
Qi Jiguang immediately understood that he had caught a big fish. At this moment, he didn't know who the big fish was. But this is a matter for the future, and now the most important thing is not to let the heavy rain run away.
Qi Jiguang shouted loudly and said, "Everyone aims at the enemy chief and shoots."
In an instant, countless projectiles and shells hit. Boyan's face was lost at this moment, as if he had lost the ability to think. He had known before that the Ming army's firearms were powerful, but he never thought that the Ming army's firearms were so powerful. They were not firearms, they had the power of gods.
"It's not worthy of the enemy." Boyan said in his heart: "You must tell the Khan not to fight with the Ming army, and don't fight with the Ming army. You must give full play to the advantages of the cavalry and not confront the Ming army head-on. You must not."
Boyan couldn't find someone to go back and report the news.
As a general, Boyan still has some personal charm. The soldiers around him were all blocked in front of him. They were beaten into blood in front of him. Finally, someone led a horse to make Boyan turn on the horse.
But as soon as Boyan got on the horse, he surpassed countless people who used his body to protect Boyan.
The arrow of "collapse" flew from somewhere, hitting Boyan's chest, and Boyan leaned forward to the sky and fell on the ground again.
At this moment, countless Tartar cavalry dismounted, crossed the chariot formation, and rushed towards Boyan. It seemed that the Tartars rescued Boyan at all costs.
Qi Jiguang put down the bow and arrow in his hand. He felt that Boyan would definitely not escape the final kill. Even if he didn't die, he would not be able to survive. Qi Jiguang was still confident in the iron-tied bow in his hand. Except that this bow was too heavy and Qi Jiguang himself could not use it continuously, there were no shortcomings.
But he knew that he felt it was useless. The military merits of the Ming Dynasty only depended on the head. If the Tartars were asked to take Boyan's body back, it would be a waste of work.
Qi Jiguang said: "Get bayonets and Ma Jin are the first to regain the enemy chief's head."
"Tiger, tiger, tiger." The soldiers in the Beijing camp shouted loudly. Then they stuffed the bayonet into the muzzle and rushed forward.
