Chapter 851 The Desert Battle

Shortly after Zhang Fugui and Meng Liang were ready, five thousand cavalrymen of the Yarkand Khanate rushed in front of them. The scimitar they raised were shining with dazzling cold light, and they looked at the Ming army's scimitar and slashed down with disdain.

"Avoid the head-on attack of war horses and kill the enemy!"

Under the command of the officer, the Ming army clamped the rifled rifled with bayonets with both hands and quickly avoided the frontal impact of the war horse, and suddenly swept the front legs of the war horse from the side. In addition, someone used a bayonet to hold the scimitar that the other party had cut down, and then a bayonet stabbed into the cavalry's body. The war horse and the cavalry fell to the ground...

The war horses could not speed up in the desert, which was much slower than usual, and the impact force would also be reduced accordingly. The entire Ming army was formed into groups, basically in groups of four people to fight against a cavalry.

Zhang Fugui and Meng Liang did not take action at all. They had a hand and a pistol. As long as someone approached, they would be killed immediately. This melee began.

Under the combined cooperation of the Ming army, the opponent's cavalry did not take any advantage. The four of them had no pressure to deal with a cavalry. They could quickly be defeated by the length of the rifled rifle.

Even if they encounter strong opponent attacks, the Ming soldiers are not afraid. At most, they can shoot them to death. If they had not received the task to hold the opponent down, they might have been able to defeat the five thousand cavalry soon.

Hundreds of cavalry rushed past the Ming army to block the camel team in the rear, but were all knocked down by Huang Dahu's one round of shooting. Huang Dahu and Huang Xiaohu were holding guns in his hands and staring at Zhang Fugui and Meng Liang who were fighting with the cavalry. As long as they saw that they were a little dangerous, the two brothers immediately shot and helped.

This kind of fighting style was quite laborious for the Ming army, and it was not easy to shoot with a rifled rifle, but it still had the upper hand against the Yarkand Khanate cavalry that had been displaced for a long time. The Ming army had an advantage in numbers and took out pistols from time to time to fire a few shots. The Yarkand Khanate cavalry had only the best of parrying.

I have to say that the Yarkand Khanate cavalry had poor combat effectiveness, but all of them were very good at riding. When several cavalry saw that the situation was not good, they hurriedly urged their horses to withdraw from the battle and came to Hami to scream in front of the horse:

"General, the number of opponents is only more than 10,000, but the combat power is very strong, and we can't stop it. The camel team is just 100 meters behind them. Please launch an attack immediately to seize the Ming army's supplies..."

Their words made Hami sneer:

"What? Didn't the Ming army have 100,000 troops? How could there be only 10,000 people here?"

These words were asked to the scouts, but Hami asked the cavalry back, how could they know!

Under normal circumstances, you must not talk nonsense about things you don’t know, but these cavalrymen just felt that the Ming army was just so powerful, just because they were powerful in their hands.

They looked at the more than 20,000 army behind Hami, and believed that as long as more than 20,000 cavalry rushes, they would definitely eliminate the Ming army. As for where the other Ming army are, they would not care!

"General, this is definitely the vanguard of the Ming army. The other troops should not have followed behind. There is a camel team behind the Ming army. Please order the attack. We can fight quickly and evacuate before the main force of the Ming army arrives. At that time, the general must have made great contributions. Now the position of the governor of Kashgar is still empty..."

"Yes, it's hard to guarantee the logistics of more than 100,000 people marching in the desert. They must have acted separately. Please order the general to attack. We will kill these Ming troops and rob them, and then run away. The Ming troops will not catch up with us even if they come..."

Hami, who has always been cunning, was sneered by the commander of the camel caravan and the governor of Kashgar, which made him feel itchy. You must know that these are all very tempting.

The life and death of the Governor of Kashgar is unknown. If he can take the position of Governor of Kashgar, it will be that his ancestral tomb will be smoked. At that time, the ministers and generals who look down on him will look at him with admiration.

After taking a closer look at the situation on the battlefield, I found that the Ming army and his cavalry were fighting together and it was difficult to decide the outcome. Hami knew that as long as they rushed forward together, the Ming army would be defeated.

Hami, who has always been cunning, was finally confused by the Governor of Kashgar and the Ming army camel team. He turned around and said to the deputy general around him:

"Saba, you will immediately lead 23,000 cavalry to kill them, and use the fastest speed to solve the Ming army, and then rob the Ming army camels to evacuate quickly, you must not be wrong."

"yes"

Saba received the order and the cavalry behind him waved his hand:

"Let's go, follow me to grab the camel caravan..."

"Run, grab the camel caravan..."

When they heard the camel caravan, the cavalry suddenly became energetic. Who doesn’t know that the Ming army camel caravan is now rich now? It must be all supplies and gold and silver treasures. They shouted loudly and followed Saba to kill the Ming army.

But Hamichi was still Hamichi. Not only did she not kill the enemy in person, she left two thousand men to protect herself for safety reasons, which made the two thousand men secretly unhappy. They also wanted to steal the Ming army's things.

"General, since the Ming army marched across the west, we have finally had a chance to make contributions and let our subordinates cut off a few Ming soldiers' heads..."

Although Hamichi wanted to come forward to see the situation, he didn't have the courage. To be more precise, he was ready to escape at any time, and safety was the first priority for him.

As a general of the army, the 20,000 people were also sneering from him, so why bother to take risks:

"Stop it all. Do you think the Ming army's head is so easy to cut, even if the gold and silver are good, you must have life to enjoy it. What if the Ming army is ambushed?"

"yes"

These two thousand people were his confidants. When Hami sneered, they also went up to pick up people's heads.

Seeing that almost all the 30,000 cavalrymen of Yili in the Yarkand Khanate had gone up, Zhu Cilang immediately sent an order:

"Transfer the order of this palace to ask Zhang Fugui and others to retreat to defend. General Li led the peripheral troops to quickly encircle the enemy on three sides. Zhang Lu, you lead two thousand people to chase and kill those cavalry that have not entered the ambush circle. Try not to chase too far."

"yes"

With the order from Zhu Cixuan, the army immediately surrounded the Yarkand cavalry from three directions, and Zhang Fugui and Meng Liang also led the Ming army to retreat immediately.

Seeing the Ming army suddenly retreating while taking advantage, the opponent's cavalry didn't know what they wanted to do for a moment, but when they looked back, they immediately found that their main force was rushing towards him and instantly understood what was going on.

"Brothers, the general has led a large army to support us. Kill Mingdog!"

Seeing that the Yerkand cavalry suddenly had a high morale, Zhang Fugui immediately sent an order:

"Quick, shoot your guns and pull back quickly!"

The general had an order, and the Ming army soldiers no longer had any reservations. They immediately pulled out their guns and shot at the cavalry:

"Bang bang..."

The number of people was already the dominant, and now all the pistols were suddenly fired. Suddenly, gunfires sounded, and countless cavalry approaching the Ming army were killed. Others did not dare to chase forward, and could only wait for the large troops behind to come and rush together.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Fugui and Meng Liang led his subordinates to retreat to Huang Dahu and his team to rest, and Huang Dahu and his brothers Huang Xiaohuang immediately led their subordinates to rush to Zhang Fugui and others ten meters ahead of him to form an array.
