Chapter 2211 Blossoms
Even though the Yongxibubu slave soldier who was in the forefront had long been mentally prepared, he still did not expect that he would enter such a cruel Avici Hell.
The closer they are to the Ming army's position, the denser the artillery fire, and the more mines they detonated, and death will come at any time. The first line of defense built by the Ming army is clearly right in front of them, but it seems to be far away in the sky. They feel powerless in their hearts, feeling that they have no chance to go ahead, because every time they walk forward, they will die with a large number of companions.
Just at this moment, the familiar Yongxibubu language suddenly sounded in my ears, and someone shouted in a deafening voice: "Drop your weapons, walk to the river banks on both sides of the position, continue to go south, and enter the Ming army camp to survive!"
"Leave the weapons and leave the middle area, walk to the riverside on both sides of the battlefield, and enter the Ming army camp to save your life!"
The person who shouted was very loud, not even like a sound made by a normal person. As for who shouted so loudly, no one knew at all.
Just when many people were still a little confused when they heard the shouts, the Ming army artillery began to resound through the world after a brief stop. Many people exploded in the positions.
Because the Ming army's muskets have not yet arrived, the artillery has become the biggest weapon to deter Yongxibu's men. They don't know what is under their feet, but they only know that landmines, caltrops and horse pits have ruined the lives of many tribesmen. There are also horse-resistance within the musket range in front of them. When the obstacles are moved closer, the muskets and bullets are densely packed with fire. I am afraid that another bloody storm will be caused.
When he realized that he was being used by Dayan Khan, even if the Ming army did not remind him, the slave soldiers of Yongshebu's tribe would find a way to escape.
There was a dead end in front, and the back was blocked by the thick armored formation of the Tatars, so they could only escape to both sides. They also understood that the Ming army's positions were now surrounded by the Dayan army's troops, so they had to make a decision whether to retreat to the Tatar camp or to go to the Ming army's camp from both sides to be prisoners of war.
At this time, the Tatar vanguard soldiers composed of prisoners were blocked. The officers of the Dayan Khan who were supervising the battle on the front line were also stunned by this round of artillery fire and searched for bomb craters to hide. Many prisoners of war in Yongshebu were crying and howling, and fled to the riverbanks on both sides.
At this time, on both sides of the frontier positions of the Ming army, the Yongxie Bu flags were erected high, guiding the direction for the cannon fodder to escape.
Those who were fast-legged, or who had been waiting for an opportunity to escape from the beginning, had discovered the escape route first. Following the guidance of the voices of the tribesmen that kept ringing in their ears, they threw down their weapons and fled to the riverbanks on both sides of the Ming army's positions. When someone pointed the direction, the follow-ups would find the direction to survive.
However, out of fear of the Ming army, many Yongxibu's captive soldiers retreated, especially those who followed behind to charge. When they found a large number of casualties and injuries in front of them, they turned around and ran back without thinking. As a result, they encountered not the smile that greeted them back, but the crossbow arrows in the sky, and a large area fell down.
The fate of the Yongxibu prisoners of war took a turning point at this time.
They originally believed that Dayan Khan, not everyone had the courage to fight with the Golden Family like the nobles of Yibula and Yongshebu, but when they found that there was no way forward or backward, they could only rush to the last hope of escaping, namely the shallow area on the river bank on both wings of the Ming army's defense line.
"Escape!"
As the shells flew, the captive soldiers of Yongsebu's troops exploded. The officers of the Dayan troops who were supervising the battle remembered their mission at this time. They took up the sabers and threatened them in the fire of artillery, but were stabbed directly to the ground by the captive soldiers of Yongsebu's troops who were eager to jump over the wall. Then these people threw away all their weapons and rushed to the river.
The Ming army artillery was still showing its power, but the landing point was basically in the core area about one mile ahead of the position. When Yongsebu's prisoners of war dispersed and rushed into the rear of the Ming army's defense line from shallows, the thick armored formation that Batumonk had painstakingly prepared began to face the threat of Ming army artillery fire.
At first, the situation where Yongshebu's captive soldiers fled to the Ming army camp was not so clear on the platform, but after the fast horse provocateur sent back the news, he confirmed that the vanguards who were taken as the leader of landmines by their father and son, except for some of them who died on the battlefield, all of them defected to the Ming army.
"It's really worth cutting them into pieces!"
When Susuha heard the news, she said angrily.
Tuluborot did not pay much attention to this emergency situation. At this time, he had doubts: "For the death of his second brother, his father did not hesitate to exterminate the Yongxibu tribe. Now he has driven prisoners of war to die first. I am afraid that it will be difficult to conquer other tribes by non-war means in the future... The Ming army easily resolved more than two thousand vanguards. Will the iron armored corps behind really work?"
Susuha didn't know what Turuborot was thinking at this time, and continued to speak out and vent his anger: "After attacking the Ming army camp, I will kill all the scums, and all the bodies fell on the wooden shelves on both sides of the road to Helin, so that they could know the consequences of betraying the Khan."
Turuborot frowned when he heard this, but he ignored Susuha. At this time, there was another Malay newspaper, saying that the Iron Armored Corps had approached about a mile in front of the Ming army's position.
"here we go!"
Susuha became energetic, "The task assigned by the Great Prince, the Great Khan to me is not only here to accompany you to wait for the results, but also to lead the cavalry to follow the Iron Armored Legion to the Ming Army camp, so I can't accompany you here anymore... I want to lead the cavalry to make achievements!"
Tuluboro nodded, and wanted to remind Susuha to be careful, but when he thought of this person's ambition and attitude towards him, he waved his hand, meaning that Susuha let go and he would not interfere.
When Susuha got off the platform, his trusted general had been waiting for a long time. Susuha held his mount from his hand and jumped onto the horse. Before leaving, he waved the sabre that had just been pulled out of the sheath at Tuluborot on the platform. His original intention was to tell Borot not to break the Ming army's position and not return, but he made Tuluborot misunderstand that the national teacher was demonstrating against him.
"My father is right. Susuha is indeed a wolfish ambition. Now he steals the high position of the national rank, so he doesn't take me seriously. However, if he leads troops to break the formation, he will probably make his head bleed... The Ming army is not easy to deal with, and the most difficult thing to deal with is Shen Xi. This war is likely to have to be successful at a heavy price for us to succeed, just in time to kill Susuha's majesty! But I still can't understand how the Ming army deals with our iron armored corps?"
Although Tuluborot was afraid of the enemy's response, he was still confident in the iron armor formation set up by his father. Although Batumonk had hesitated before, he felt that the iron armor formation that had been prepared for a long time might not work. Tuluborot was thinking in his heart about what tactics the Ming army would use to deal with it next.
But obviously this is not something his mind can figure out, and the front-line battlefield is also changing, so he can't help but be distracted.
"Report! The Iron Armored Corps is less than one mile away from the Ming army's defense line, and the national army leads cavalry to follow him!"
"Report! The Ming army began to launch artillery attacks!"
Although the two sides were only five miles apart and Turuborot was still standing on the platform, he couldn't see clearly what happened on the battlefield before, because there was a mist that day and the visibility was not high.
Tuluborot was very worried and wanted to ask Batumonk for advice, but when he was about to climb off the platform, he saw Batumonk's big golden sword coming, climbing up the ladder himself, and coming to the platform.
"Father Khan..."
Turuborot was about to salute Batumonk and greet him, and then expressed his doubts, but Dayankhan waved his hand and signaled his son not to speak.
Next, Batumonk took out a cylindrical thing from his arms and looked into the battlefield. It was the telescope he bought with a lot of money from the Ming Dynasty's border generals.
"Look, I still firmly believe that our iron armor formation will perform miraculous effects and defeat the enemy!" Batumonk ordered casually.
...
...
When the Yongsebu army defeated the troops in front of the formation and entered the Ming army camp through the shallow areas upstream and downstream of the Yuxi River, Shen Xi did not even have time to send people to sort out these prisoners, because the Tatars' armored corps had arrived at the battlefield and was only about one mile away from the first line of defense of the Ming army.
"boom"
The artillery continued to roar, and the shotguns fired by the Folang cannon fell like hail and fell into the Tartars offensive formation. However, since each Tartar soldier was heavily armored and supported a huge shield to form a huge protective barrier, these shells did not seem to play their due role.
"Sir, it seems that the situation is not very good!"
Because it is only one mile away from the trench in the line, even Tang Yin and Liu Xu can see clearly with their naked eyes what the situation is. Liu Xu said nervously, "The enemy's outfit is not as simple as iron armor. It is a completely mobile fortress!"
"boom!"
When Liu Xu spoke, the artillery behind the rear was still being bombarded. The gunners trained by Shen Xi basically hit each gun above the Tatar thick armor formation. However, the Tartar strongmen raised the shield high, and the shotguns fired by the Flanger cannon hit the thick shield and made a "ding-ding-dang" sound. Occasionally, there were fish that escaped the net, and it did not cause any damage to the Tatar soldiers when they hit the armor and the steel helmet.
Tang Yin seemed very calm: "Isn't this an obvious thing? Now to kill the enemy, I have to rely on the mines buried on the ground. I don't believe that they have steel helmets on their heads, thick armor, and shields on their hands. Can they still have defenses under their crotch? Then the mines will explode, keep them from being killed..."
Just as Tang Yin made a conclusion, when the Tatar thick armor formation was less than four hundred meters away from the first line of the Ming army, a hole suddenly broke into the enemy formation, and a large number of war horses dragging heavy stones rushed out of it.
"Boom..."
The horse's tail was tied with a torch and lit it. The war horse was frightened and looked like crazy. He dragged the stone and rushed towards the Ming army's defense line. These war horses were not controlled by the riders, and they were completely charged by themselves.
When Tang Yin saw this posture, he felt a little cold: "No, the Tatars are playing tricks!"
When Liu Xu saw this scene, he was stunned and vaguely remembered that this tactic seemed to have seen before, but the one who used this method to break the formation was not the Tatars, but the Ming people. It was Shen Xi, who was now standing behind him and feared by the Tartars as if they were as scared as a tiger by the Tatars.
In order to break the siege of Yisimayin in Tumu Fort, Chen Xi also tied a torch with a livestock and charged aimlessly. The final result was to beat Yisimayin's troops all over the ground for teeth.
"grown ups……"
Liu Xu felt that the situation was not good. If these animals were allowed to charge, they would inevitably encounter mechanisms such as horse pits, caltrops and landmines in front of the army.
Chen Xi was still holding the telescope and said calmly: "Let's watch them perform!"
Although the wind and wind are calm in Chenxi, Liu Xu and Tang Yin are already scared, and the situation seems to be developing in a direction that is not conducive to the Ming army. The animals are endless. Although many of them fall into the trap of horse pit, break their legs and wail and fall to the ground in pain, some fall on the caltrops, and even those who step on the landmines are blown up in pieces, but they cannot withstand the large number. Under the stimulation of the flames on their butt, they sprint for desperate sprints, and the entire frontier of the position explodes, blood and flesh flying, and smoke.
As a large number of landmines were detonated by crazy horses, the mechanisms blocking the Ming army's trenches were slowly lifted. Fortunately, the war horses entered the process of the muskets, and the Ming army on the position began to attack. Blood rose from the body of the war horses and fell to the ground with whimpering. In a blink of an eye, thousands of war horses fell on the front of the position.
The Tatar Iron Armored Corps was unmoved and advanced slowly. At this time, the trapped horse pit was basically flattened, the caltrops on the ground were gradually removed by careful infantry, and the mines were almost detonated by the crazy horse dragging the stones. The front line seemed to be in a smooth road.
...
...
"As long as the explosives buried underground are swept away, there will be no obstacles in front of the iron armor formation. The cavalry of the national division can also rush into the enemy's positions in one breath and fight in close combat. Even if the Ming army can still struggle for a while, it will not affect the final battle situation." Batumonk, standing on the platform, analyzed his eldest son in a calm voice.
Tuluborot frowned: "Father Khan, do you think things will be so simple?"
Batumonk did not answer, raised his right hand with the telescope and leaned in front of him, preventing his eldest son from continuing to ask questions.
Obviously [m.] At this moment, Batumonk is more concerned about the progress of the battle and will not analyze whether Chen Xi will be willing to surrender, or whether there are any counterattack methods in the future.
But at this moment, Batumonk's eyes widened, as if he saw a picture that he didn't want to see very much.
The Ming army has changed its artillery.
When the Tatars' thick armored formation was only about 200 meters away from the front line of the Ming Dynasty and entered the range of muskets, the Ming army solved all the animals rushing in front, and the artillery soldiers in the rear began to fire artillery again.
However, the one that was fired this time was not the one that had been used before, but the most familiar Flor cannon of the Tatars, but a kind of artillery they had never seen before.
It seems that it was the most primitive artillery used by the Ming army before. It did not launch lead bullets to hit the scoop, but directly fired a single black iron ball.
"What is that?"
Even though Tuluborot did not have a telescope in his hand, he still vaguely saw black iron balls falling from high altitude at the confrontation between the two sides. These iron balls were dazzling fire, which was extremely eye-catching.
Batumonk could not answer his son's question at all, because he had never seen him before, and he didn't know what Chen Xi was doing.
In about the blink of an eye, the iron ball had already arrived above the thick armor formation.
Because the initial velocity and parabolic fall strength of the iron ball are much stronger than the Ferlang machine cannonballs, even the iron armored soldiers can't hold on to it, and the iron ball directly smashes the thick shield into holes.
"Things that have nothing to do with the overall situation..."
Batumonk saw this scene at a high place and did not take it seriously. Even if there were many iron balls that could smash through the shield formation, they could only damage a few iron armored soldiers and could not stop the assault of the entire iron armored army. As long as they rushed forward more than a hundred steps, the subsequent cavalry could attack.
Although the Thick Armour Army advanced slowly, according to Batumonk's conjecture, even if the entire corps arrived at the first line of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army would not have achieved much success.
Even at this time, the cavalry led by Susuha had rushed halfway and prepared to disperse to both sides of the Thousand Armor Army and assault the Ming Army positions.
But obviously he was wrong in expectation.
Just as Da Yanhan finished speaking, a sudden "bang" sounded loudly came. Even though the sound was made three or four miles away, it instantly resounded throughout the battlefield. With this sound, dozens of thick armored soldiers were blown away. The shields on their hands and the thick armor they were wearing were powerless at this moment.
At the same time, the Ming army artillery sent more "iron balls" over the Tatar thick armored army formation.
When Batumonk looked through the telescope, his body was even trembling because the steel corps he had worked hard to manage had no defense in front of these "iron balls". Those iron balls not only smashed the thick shield into holes, but also exploded and burst open.
