Chapter 184 Wa Ci retreats

Without the support of firearms, how can the infantry block the impact of Wa Ci's cavalry?

Yang Hong naturally couldn't let them continue to play this kind of game.

Yang Hong gave an order, and two cavalrymen galloped out. They immediately dispersed the cavalrymen who were shooting arrows in front of the battle.

The cavalry of both sides began to tremble in front of the infantry formation. Suddenly, the Ming army's cavalry retreated from both sides, exposing the Waqi cavalry in front of the infantry formation.

With a bang, countless firearms exploded, covering a distance of about a hundred steps in front of the main formation. Suddenly, more than a hundred cavalry fell to the ground.

Ashe Timur's face suddenly turned ugly.

He thought for a moment and finally admitted something.

The elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, whether they are infantry or cavalry, are evenly matched with the Waci cavalry. To fight against such an opponent, you can only exchange your life for your life and your son for your son. If you want to be clever, you can only be smart.

Being fooled by cleverness

Ashe Timur gave an order, and a large group of cavalry gathered in front of the Ming army's formation.

Then the horns sounded

The large group of light cavalry rushed to the front, shooting arrows while charging. Suddenly, the soldiers of the Ming Army were once again subjected to a wave of arrows, and the infantry of the Ming Army were not inferior, shooting with various firearms against the rain of arrows.

The two sides are like two hedgehogs getting close to each other, suffering the pain of others pricking themselves, and desperately trying to prick the other person to death.

Just a few dozen paces in front of the Ming army's formation, they suddenly turned around and divided into two teams and retreated.

What suddenly appeared in front of them was Wa Ci's trump card, Wa Ci's last resort, the heavily armored cavalry. They were covered in armor and held long spears.

It rushed through a distance of dozens of steps and slammed into the Ming army's infantry formation.

In an instant, the casualties on both sides reached a peak.

Both the infantry's spear and the cavalry's spear can kill people with one strike.

It's just that in comparison, the Ming army's infantry array endured greater pressure. After all, not everyone can face the overwhelming cavalry and remain motionless.

Only the infantry of Datong Town did it.

Especially the infantry at the front, they were almost killed by the heavy cavalry in an instant, but the spears they held did not change direction at the last minute behind them.

Most of the cavalry ran straight into it.

The Ming army's infantry formation became loose.

The second batch of Wathorn cavalry crashed into them again.

This time, the front of the Ming army's formation was in a mess. It was not as neat as it had been prepared before, and the lethality of the Waci cavalry to the formation would only be greater.

Then the third batch came again.

This time, the Ming army's infantry formation could not withstand the tremendous pressure and began to deform.

The middle is sunken toward the back.

Ashe Timur couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. The Waqi heavy armored cavalry was very precious no matter what time it was. The entire Waqi only had tens of thousands of them.

It was the wealth accumulated by three generations of grand masters from Mahamu, Tuhuan, and Ye Xian. At this moment, Ashe Timur sacrificed the lives of three hundred cavalry to exchange for the loosening of the Ming army's infantry formation.

I don't know if it's worth it.

Ashe Timur immediately ordered a general offensive.

The large group of cavalry killed them. At this time, the counterattack of the Ming Dynasty infantry formation was relatively scattered. Facing the large group of cavalry that rushed over, they were somewhat powerless.

But even so, the most basic organization can still be maintained. Although it is being suppressed and retreating step by step, it seems that it can still maintain a certain order and is still far from collapse.

Ashe Timur felt that he had a sure chance of victory. As long as he continued to put pressure on the Ming army, the Ming army would collapse sooner or later.

It's just that he was happy too early.

Suddenly, the cannons on the top of the city roared intensively one after another, and countless cannons unleashed their firepower on the outside of the city.

Because as the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty retreated step by step, the Waqi cavalry had been introduced into the fire coverage of the Ming army's city head.

The range of firearms in this era is quite limited. Otherwise, there would be no need to let the infantry risk their lives to lure the Wazi army to go deeper. In this round of shooting, everyone on the city top was firing desperately.

Shoot directly until all the cannons are red and hot.

At this time, the cavalrymen were all confused. In this era, there were no heavy artillery, and most of them were fist-based artillery shells. However, no matter how big the artillery shells were, they were always effective in killing people.

Many Waqi cavalrymen watched helplessly as the cannonballs, which seemed to fly very slowly, penetrated several people at once, fell to the ground, and then bounced up and broke several horse legs.

All in all it was a mess.

No matter how powerful the Watt Cavalry was, under such circumstances, they couldn't help but withdraw voluntarily.

This was the moment Yang Hong was waiting for. He gave an order and the artillery fire at the top of the city stopped immediately. All the cavalry in Datong Town rushed out, chasing the tail of the Waqi cavalry, and fought their way in.

At this time, I can see how powerful Yang Hong is.

A disciplined army is completely different from an undisciplined army. This group of cavalry was stunned and was in a state of losing organization for a moment.

Therefore, when Yang Hong came after him, they were about the same number as Yang Hong, but they had no power to fight back, and Yang Hong did not kill them all. Now they pursued them one after another and drove them into the Waci army formation.

After they disrupted the Wacai formation, Yang Hong rushed in again, just like a snowball, driving the defeated soldiers into the Waca array one after another.

He first ordered the entire army to retreat three miles, and then stabilized their position.

Yang Hong also understood very well that seeing Wa Ci holding his position, there would be no advantage left. Therefore, he immediately withdrew his troops and retreated to the city wall.

At this moment, Yang Hong was still arrayed under the city wall, but no one in Waqi had any thoughts of attacking again.

"Father," Ashe Timur said, "My child is not doing well in commanding. Please, father, punish me?"

Ye first said: "It doesn't matter, your command is already good, but you are facing the famous Southern Dynasty general Yang Hong. Such an opponent, under such circumstances, would be difficult to defeat."

"What you've done is good enough."

Not all of what I said was meant to comfort Ata Timur. Some of it was true.

For generals like Yang Hong, fighting on the battlefield of their choice takes advantage of the right time, location, and people.

As for the weather, now is the hottest time, and Wasi's army can't stand the heat. The location, the people under Datong City, and the actions of Wasi have made everyone in Datong Town united and have only one thought, which is to go to Datong.

Wa Ci takes revenge.

Although there is nothing outstanding about the command of Ashe Timur, it is still a common way for Wa Ci to face the infantry. Many armies in the Western Regions cannot stop these few Sanshou.

But the Ming Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty after all, not those small countries in the Western Regions.

He also looked at the sky first and said, "Give me the order and the army will withdraw from the side wall."

"Yes." Ye Xian's generals said one after another. They immediately went down to make arrangements.

Ashe Timur said: "Father, if we leave like this, wouldn't it damage the reputation of our father?"

Ye first said: "Remember, on the battlefield, everything is empty, and only victory is real? I just want Yang Hong to have the reputation of defeating me, the Grand Master of the Yuan Dynasty, for decades.

Lift up Yang Hong with his prestige, Mr. Zhang, please draft a letter on behalf of me and leave it to the Ming army’s camp in Beijing, telling them how shocked I am by General Yang Hong, and how I wish I could hold his arms with him.

.”

Zhang Zongzhou made it clear and said: "I understand."

Ashe Timur did not understand something.

It took him a long time to understand something.

His father also fought in the Western Regions before he became the grand master of Wasi, and defeated Chagatai Khan. After taking office, he conquered east and west with few defeats. This can be regarded as a far-reaching statement.

Admitting defeat to Yang Hong today will bring great honor to Yang Hong.

However, when Wa Ci went south and killed so many people and robbed so much food, the troops from the Beijing camp were about to fight. When they arrived, they found that the battle had already been finished by the border troops.

What is the idea of ​​Beijing Camp? What is the idea of ​​Zhu Yong, Duke of Chengguo?

Although the Beijing Camp and the Border Army are both Ming armies, are there not that harmonious relationship between the Beijing Camp and the Border Army?

At this time, it was also known that the Wa Ci army was lingering outside the border wall. When the time comes, will the Chengguo Guild leave the border?

At this moment, Ashe Timur understood that in order to lure the main force of the Ming Army out of the fortress, he did not know how many methods had been arranged. Is this whether he knew it or he did not know it? How many methods were there?

He was excited and worried at the same time. What was exciting was that he estimated that the Ming army's commander, Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong, would not be able to stop the pursuit.

What they are worried about is that if Duke Cheng pursues them, will they be able to defeat the Beijing camp?
