Chapter 105 The whole army attacks and a war breaks out!


Chapter 105 The whole army attacks and a war breaks out!

The 100,000 troops of the Turpan Khanate had all left Gaochang City long ago.

Only ten thousand young and strong recruits were left in the city to guard the city gate.

Tonight, the moonlight is very bright.

One hundred thousand soldiers of the Turpan Khanate were hiding in the grasslands around Gaochang City.

As long as Aheima Khan gives the order, he will launch an attack on the Ming army station seventy miles away.

The land of seventy miles is not far away. The cavalry will attack with all their strength and can be reached in about two hours.

The advantage of the Turpan Khanate is the large number of horses.

Compared to the Ming Expeditionary Army, which only had 60,000 cavalry, their 110,000-strong army were all cavalry.

Yalan rode out of Gaochang City and found Mansuer, the leader of the vanguard army.

"Hongtaiji, the Great Khan has an order, ordering you to immediately lead the vanguard and attack the Ming army camp at night."

"Hongtaiji, remember to take care of yourself and don't put yourself in danger!"
< br>Young Mansuer excitedly urged the horse under him Horse, shouted: "I know."

"Pass my general's order, the vanguard army attacks, marches at full speed, and attacks the Ming army camp at night!"

"The vanguard army attacks, marches at full speed, Night attack on the Ming army camp!”

"The vanguard army attacked, marched at full speed, and attacked the Ming army camp at night!"

"..."

Military orders were conveyed through the ranks of the army. The vanguard army led by Man Su'er took the lead in attacking dial.

Yalan looked at Mansuer's back, feeling a little relieved and a little helpless.

Mansuer can be said to have inherited the characteristics of Yunusi Khan and Aheimahan who were brave and good at fighting.

Although he is young, he has already demonstrated superior military qualities and strong ability to fight on horseback.

I believe that when Mansuer grows up, he will become a famous Mongolian Khan.

Then Yalan returned, and the Chinese army camp he led also issued an order for the entire army to advance.

But unlike Mansuer, Yalan ordered to advance at a constant speed, deliberately creating a time difference with the vanguard.

And it can preserve the physical strength of people and horses to the greatest extent to cope with the fierce battle that follows.

After Mansuer and Yalan both set off, Aheimahan rode out of Gaochang City.

Behind him were 20,000 of the most elite and skilled warriors of the Turpan Khanate.

Not only are they better equipped and wear leather armor on their chests, but more importantly, each of them has two horses.

The cavalry equipped with one person and two horses not only has an advantage in speed, but also maintains high mobility and endurance in battle.

Their combat power is much higher than that of ordinary one-horse cavalry.

"Let's go and attack the Ming army!"

"Huh!"

Aheimahan gave an order, and 20,000 elite soldiers followed closely behind, and slowly marched towards the Ming army stationed there. Go to the location.

……

The Ming army’s garrison point.

At three o'clock, Xu Chang had already opened his eyes.

Blowing the bugle, all Ming troops were awakened in the middle of the night.

But after waking up, the Ming army did not rush to march. Instead, they buried pots for cooking and rested on the spot.

Since the Ming army went deep into Turpan, in order to prevent the Mongol Khanate from attacking at night, Xuchang often only let his soldiers sleep for half the night.

Especially when entering Chou, it is when people are most sleepy and when enemies are most vulnerable to sneak attacks.

At this time, the Ming army was actually all ready and ready.

Just wait for the sun to jump above the horizon, and then you can continue marching towards Gaochang.

Just when everything was quiet, a scout suddenly came to report.

"Report!"

"Governor Xu, enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!"

"A large number of enemy troops are attacking our army. We can't see the number clearly, but there are definitely tens of thousands of them!"

After Xu Chang received the news, he did not show surprise, but instead showed a sneer.

"Sure enough, Aheimahan is unwilling to give up Gaochang City, because he wants to fight to the death with the Ming Dynasty."

"Pass my order, and the thirty regiments will form an formation immediately, Shenji Camp Outside, the five military camps are in the middle, and the three thousand battalions and trapped camps are behind."

"Protect the logistics and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

"Form up a formation immediately and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"Form up a formation immediately and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"..."< br>
As soon as the military order was conveyed, 130,000 Ming troops and hundreds of thousands of logistical supplies were immediately mobilized.

The person in charge of transportation logistics drove the donkey cart and hid in the rear.

The Shenji Battalion has already loaded its guns and is aiming forward.

The fifth military camp is wearing armor and holding soldiers with rattan shields in their hands, standing behind the Shenji Camp.

The trapped camp and the three thousand battalions are all cavalry, with a total of more than sixty thousand.

They first retreated thousands of meters to the right and rear, leaving enough space for the subsequent charge.

The cavalry that charged and the cavalry that was locked in a bitter battle were completely different types of arms.

Cavalry, especially heavy armored cavalry, can become human meat grinders only when they charge into battle.

The Qianxichang Fanzi led by Ma Jinzhong serve as supervisors and stand behind each branch of the army.

If there are those who are afraid to move forward or are too timid to fight, Xichang's fans will kill them first without the enemy taking action!

Behind Xuchang stood the Ming Dynasty dragon flag, sitting in the center, commanding the army with flag orders at any time!

The 130,000-strong army was fully prepared and waiting...

Suddenly, there was a vibration on the ground!

What followed was the extremely chaotic and powerful sound of horse hooves.

Under the bright moonlight, the Ming soldiers saw small black dots emerging in the shadows ahead.

There are more and more black dots, gradually connecting into a black line, and finally it becomes a mass of black!

The vanguard army of the Turpan Khanate attacks the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Army! "Kill!"

"Kill the Army of Light!"

"Kill! Kill!"

"..."
< br>

When both sides saw each other, the soldiers of the Turpan Khanate no longer concealed themselves and let out deafening shouts of killing.

The members of the Shenji Battalion standing at the front swallowed involuntarily.

But no one dared to look around, and no one dared to abandon their guns and run away.

Because Fanzi from Xichang was standing behind them with a cold knife in his hand.

Those who hesitate before the battle, behead!

Anyone who whispers will be killed!

Those who disobey orders will be killed!

No one dares to pull the trigger and shoot the enemy without the command of the commander.

Close!

Closer!

The cavalry of the Turpan Khanate were close enough to see the ferocious expression on his face.

But the commander still did not give the signal to fire.

Suddenly!

The Turpan Khanate cavalry rushing at the front suddenly lost its balance and fell to the ground.

“Ahh!!!”

"What is this?!"

"What's going on?! Ah!!!"

"..."

First one, then the second, The third...

A whole row of cavalry fell to the ground!

It turned out that there was a Juma ditch five feet wide and eight feet deep between the two sides.

Xuchang ordered people to dig out this Jumagou ditch as early as after the Ming army was stationed there.

In the night, it is not noticeable at all.

The cavalry of the Turpan Khanate attacked at night in a hurry. Without paying attention, they hit the road of Jumagou.

After the first row of cavalry fell, the fallen horses and people immediately affected the second row of cavalry.

The cavalry from behind rushed forward menacingly and immediately trampled the fallen men and horses to pieces.

The ones who raided the Ming army this time were recruits from the Turpan Khanate who had little battlefield experience.

They saw the clansman in front of them fall down. For a moment, someone pulled the reins in panic and tried to stop the horse.

But if he stops, the thousands of troops galloping behind him will not be able to stop.

Almost immediately he was knocked down by the tribesmen behind him, and was trampled to pieces by the horses' hooves.

In such a chain reaction situation, the two sides have not yet fought.

The Ming army lost thousands of cavalrymen of the Turpan Khanate just by relying on a Juma ditch.

Mansu'er, who was sitting at the rear, saw the tribesmen in front suddenly falling down in pieces.

Immediately guessed that they had hit the Juma ditch dug by the Ming army, so they quickly ordered.

“Don’t stop! Don’t give in!”

"Charge directly!"

Man Su'er is going to use the corpses of the front row cavalry to fill the obstacles for the cavalry behind!

The messengers around Mansuer immediately rode out to convey Mansuer's order.

The length and width of Juma Valley are limited after all. Just rely on corpses to fill it. The corpses of thousands of people and horses are enough to fill Juma Valley.

After the initial chaos, the cavalry in front had turned into flesh, while the cavalry in the rear had already reached the Ming army.

The cavalry of the Turpan Khanate has entered the killing range of the fire guns.

"Let go!"

The commander of the Shenji Battalion suddenly waved the flag downwards, and a crackling sound was heard in an instant.

A whole row of thousands of soldiers from the Shenji Battalion opened fire in unison!

Suddenly, another large group of Turpan cavalry fell to the ground!

After losing control of their war horses, they began to run around on the battlefield.

Some crashed into the horses of the cavalry nearby, some continued to rush towards the Ming Dynasty's military formation, and some even stopped directly.

The stopped horse was quickly knocked down by the horse behind it.

The horse collided with the cavalry next to it and was solved by the cavalry of the Turpan Khanate.

The war horses that rushed towards the Ming army fell down amidst the second gunfire.

The Shenji Battalion works in groups of three. After one person fires a gun, he immediately changes to reload ammunition.

The remaining people on standby immediately filled the gap and started shooting.

This combination greatly makes up for the combat disadvantage of slow reloading of fire guns.

Every time the Shenji Battalion fires a round of gunfire, hundreds of Turpan Khanate cavalry will be wiped out.

But there was not much time left for the Shenji Battalion to fire.

The effective killing distance of the fire gun is not long. For the galloping cavalry, this distance passes in an instant.

"The Shenji Battalion retreated, and on top of the Fifth Army Camp, the three thousand battalions and the trapped camp were ready to charge!"

Xuchang sat in the center and had a clear understanding of the battlefield situation, and immediately made a response corresponding command.

The flag soldiers around Xuchang used torches instead of flags to send out signals.

After seeing the flag order issued by the cavalry, the soldiers of the three armies began to proceed in an orderly manner according to Xuchang's order.

When the Turpan cavalry was about to rush to the Ming army's formation, the Shenji Battalion quickly retreated, and the Fifth Army Battalion raised their shields and pushed forward.

At the same time, the 30,000 trapped camp and the 33,000 battalion on the right rear began to charge!

On the battlefield of this era, it is still the cavalry that determines victory or defeat!

"Boom!"

Sixty thousand cavalry charged from the rear right side with such force that even the ground shook.

These 60,000 cavalry are still gathering momentum in the rear, but on the front battlefield, the cavalry of the Turpan Khanate has already rushed into the Ming army's formation!

The Fifth Army Battalion, as the infantry in front of the formation, even though they were holding shields, there were still casualties at the moment the two armies came into contact.

The soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion used their lives to block the Turpan cavalry charge!
