Volume Two, Chapter 68, Doubtful Life

More than fifty miles northeast of Tongzhou City, a battle is slowly beginning on the road leading to Jizhou.

On the Ming Dynasty, there were 20,000 elite troops of the Shanxi Army led by Zhang Da, a veteran general of the Northwest Frontier Army.

On the other side of the Tartars, Altan Khan's younger brother, the 50,000 elite cavalry led by Kunduliha.

The difference in strength between 20,000 infantry and 50,000 cavalry was really a bit different. Kunduliha thought that he would win, so he didn't even think about it and directly led his 50,000 elite cavalry to rush towards the Ming army opposite.

By chance, the Ming army general Zhang Da also thought he would win, so when faced with 50,000 Tatar cavalry, he had no intention of retreating. Instead, he ordered his subordinates to set up formations on both sides of the road and fight against them!

I'm afraid this guy is not sick, so he won't run away and seek death?

At this time, Kunduliha's face had a victory smile, while veteran Zhang Da showed a rare look of nervousness.

He was not afraid that he could not defeat the 50,000 Tartar cavalry, but mainly because there were several "scholars" generals in his army. Moreover, the two powerful weapons of muskets and artillery were commanded by these "scholars". He was really worried that these guys would make trouble for him.

Fortunately, Feng Wensheng, the "scholar" general who was responsible for commanding artillery, seemed to have a good grasp of the fighter jets, but the first round of artillery fired a little early. Although it was a bit wasteful of shells, it did not have much impact on the situation.

At this time, the roar of artillery fired, and Zhang Da raised the telescope in his hand a little unfamiliarly to observe the results of the battle.

What will this first round of artillery bombardment have?

He believed that it would be good if one thousand shells could hit the front row of Tartar cavalry, and the remaining one thousand would probably fall into the open space in front of the Tartar cavalry.

However, the result he saw was not.

When the shells fell, a large area of ​​the front row of the Tartar cavalry suddenly fell, and the number was definitely more than a thousand!

This means that Feng Wensheng's judgment did not deviate at all, and two thousand shells almost hit the front row of the Tartar cavalry!

Is this guy so powerful?

He was holding a telescope, opening his mouth in a daze, "Boom boom boom", another roar of artillery fire broke out, and the Tartar cavalry suddenly became a group of people.

There was no way, almost all the cavalry in the front row were bombarded by the Ming army's artillery, and the cavalry behind could not stop at all and directly hit them. It would be strange if the formation was not messy.

Just as the Tartar cavalry was in chaos, "Boom boom boom" and another roar of artillery fire broke out.

At this moment, the Tartar cavalry was even more in chaos. The front row was full of soldiers screaming and falling to the ground and war horses running around with their masters. Many of the people rushed up from behind were knocked over and overturned.

This kid is so good!

Zhang Da couldn't help but look excited. Three rounds of six thousand shells caused more than 10,000 casualties. The more Tartar cavalry they killed and injured than were hit by the shells.

Even he didn't expect this effect.

"Boom boom boom", another roar of artillery sounded, and the rush of the Tatar cavalry almost stopped.

"Boom boom boom", not long after, another roar of artillery sounded, and the formation of the Tartar cavalry was completely in chaos, and many people showed panic on their faces.

Can this guy repel 50,000 Tatar cavalry in five rounds of artillery?

This is certainly impossible.

Kunduliha was almost mad at this moment. He really didn't expect that the Ming army was equipped with so many artillery pieces, and even he was almost hit by a shell. If he hadn't reacted quickly and had it penetrated under the crotch of a horse, he might have been hit by the shells at this moment.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

At this time, the entire formation was in chaos and everyone was busy hiding. Who would listen to him? Some people even turned their heads and started to run back.

"Ahhhhhh", you are so weak that you dare to escape in the face of battle. Kunduli was so angry that he waved his sword forward and chopped down several deserters. Only then did the escape move be curbed.

At this time, his mind was a little clearer. He stopped screaming and forcing people to charge, but ordered the generals to collect their men, reorganize their formation, and prepare to continue charging.

He was a little reckless, and his combat experience was quite rich. He had encountered artillery before. The Ming army's artillery could only fire five rounds in a row. After five rounds, the artillery would have to be stopped, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

Is this really the case?

After five rounds of artillery attacks, Feng Wensheng did not order the artillery to fire, but he ordered all the artillery soldiers to carry the cannons and ammunition to retreat to the end of the formation and quickly load the sub-guns. It was obvious that he was not ready to stop the food.

At this time, the casualties of 50,000 Tatar cavalry had reached nearly 20,000. Of course, most of them were injured by falling off the horse in chaos, and not so many were actually killed by artillery shells.

After Kunduliha reorganized the formation, a ferocious look appeared on his face.

"Ahhhhhh", nearly 20,000 troops were lost in this moment, which was a great humiliation. We must rush forward and kill all the 20,000 Ming troops in front of us!

He didn't care about getting rid of the wounded soldiers. As soon as the troops barely put the Zhen clan out, he waved the scimitar in his hand and shouted: "Crash with me, rush up and kill them all!"

He didn't believe it anymore, and more than 30,000 cavalry rushed forward and could not kill 20,000 infantrymen.

If these infantry were ordinary infantry, of course they would be killed. Problem, these infantry were not ordinary infantry, they were chariots equipped with firearms!

He had just led his army to advance more than a hundred steps, and another burst of muskets sounded from the Ming army formation.

"Bapapapapapapa", the bullet hits like rain. Although most of them are wearing thick leather armor and holding log shields, they are not able to protect their whole body. Their arms, legs, etc. are basically exposed to musket bullets, and the war horses under their crotch are basically unprotected and cannot withstand the bullets at all.

Soon, another scream sounded, and I don’t know how many people were dismissed.

However, their formation was not in chaos this time. The main reason was that they had just started charging, and the horse speed was not very fast. Moreover, after losing a small half of the man, their formation was much sparse. Even if someone was caught, they had time to avoid it.

Kunduliha didn't care about any casualties at this time. He had a thought in his mind and rushed forward and killed these souls!

The distance of two hundred steps was just a blink of an eye for the cavalry. After losing thousands of troops, Kunduliha finally led his army to the Ming army's chariot formation.

Before he could think of how to break the chariot formation, a dark cloud suddenly rose behind the Ming army's chariot.

Thunder!

So many thunders!

Kunduliha's face finally changed.

This sky-blasting thunder is not that easy to hide. Once it explodes around you, injury is inevitable. As for the degree of injury, it depends on your luck.

If you are lucky, you may have a few iron needles on your arms or legs. The pain will pass after it, which will basically not affect the battle.

If you are not lucky and the iron needle is directly stabbed on the face or even in the eyes, you will suffer.

"Boom boom boom", after a burst of explosion, another scream sounded, almost everyone was hit, and even Kunduliha felt a pain in his right leg, and he didn't know how many iron needles were inserted into it.

Damn it, he was so angry that he waved his scimitar directly and rushed to the Ming army's chariot, and then slashed randomly.

Before he could cut a few times, a few spears suddenly stretched out from the back of the chariot and stabbed him in a mess.

To be honest, his kung fu was quite good. Such an attack had basically no effect on him. He basically cut off the barrel of the spear that stabbed him.

However, his subordinates were not as powerful as him. As soon as the spear was released, many people were caught and fell. A scream suddenly sounded around him, but the Ming army's chariot formation was not moving at all.

At this time, he was already a little suspicious of his life.
