"Kill all these barbarians!"

The Grand Tutor also drew his scimitar. He knew very well that if he wanted to kill the retreating Ming army, he would have to defeat the troops behind the palace.

And Chen Yichen was the commander of the Ming Dynasty's reinforcements. If he took him down, he would replicate the miracle of capturing the Ming Dynasty emperor. From then on, there will be no more warriors in the north of the Ming Dynasty!

The galloping war horses shook the earth. The heavily armored soldiers of the palace army held the spears tightly with both hands, stood on the wasteland in rows, and would withstand the charge of the Mongolian cavalry with their flesh and blood.

Behind them were the Ming army's strong bow and crossbow. With the advantage of the range of the stair bow and strong crossbow, they suppressed the horse bow of the Mongolian cavalry, forcing the enemy to use the best cavalry tactics to avoid being consumed by unlimited "kite flying".

In fact, the Central Plains farming peoples have fought against the grassland nomadic people for thousands of years, and they have long known the way to crack the cavalry's attack.

However, having a response does not mean that it can be easily dealt with. Infantry always has natural disadvantages over cavalry. Once there is a loophole in the defense line, it will lead to the collapse of the entire military formation. There are no infantry formed in the vast wasteland, and the outcome can be imagined.

The only way to win is only two words, that is discipline.

A strict formation, elite weapons, high morale, and iron discipline are the foundation for infantry to stand in the face of cavalry!

How could Tai Shishen not know about the tactics that have been almost Mingcai for thousands of years?

The Mongolian cavalry he sent out to take the lead were not the conventional light armored cavalry and shooting troops, but the equipped cavalry that had defeated Chengguo Duke's troops in Yaoerling before!

Moreover, with the support of the transportation brigade leader Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty, the Taishi Yesen's equipped cavalry unit has achieved a qualitative improvement in both the quality of equipment and the number of personnel.

Now I first have the ace heavy armored cavalry in my hand, which is more elite and powerful than Yaoerling. The Iron Cavalry of Watshu is going to defeat the Ming army's defense line head-on!

The sun shines on the armor, reflecting a different metallic beauty. The veterans of the spear formation see the enemy's heavy armor and understand that the impact of the first round will be extremely amazing.

So they cheered and shouted: "Brothers, hold the spear in their hands, this time they will definitely make the Tartars come and go!"

"I've stood firm for me, don't be as light as if I didn't eat enough!"

"Admiral Chen has been treating delicious food and drinks in the past two years. We have to show him some skills!"

"The army is raising a thousand days and using troops for a while, and Admiral Chen is watching from behind. Whoever is cowardly will be his grandson!"

Compared with the soldiers' cheering, Meng Da, a veteran on the battlefield, was as stable as a stone Buddha, and accurately calculated the distance between the Mongolian cavalry and the cavalry arrived at the military formation.

Five hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred fifty steps.

"Strong bow, release!"

With Meng Da's order, Badou and more powerful archers in the camp of the Palace Front Army began to release their bowstrings, and the rain of arrows flew towards the Mongolian cavalry. However, this extreme distance shooting faces heavy armor, unless it is particularly unlucky to hit the gap, it has almost no lethality.

"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"

"One hundred steps, crossbow arrows, release!"

The powerful crossbow with a range of hundreds of steps in the pre-Qin, Han and Tang dynasties gradually withdrew from the historical stage as firearms gradually became popular.

Even though the Ming Dynasty was mainly bows and crossbows, it only restored the Song Dynasty's divine arm crossbows, and the range was compressed to about a hundred steps, but the penetration power of the arrows was more than twice that of conventional bows and arrows.

The projectile of a strong bow could hardly cause any damage to the heavy armor of the equipped cavalry. The short-range direct shooting of the strong crossbow finally broke through the weak point of the heavy armor of the Mongolian cavalry. The soldiers who charged in the front row fell to the ground one after another, and were trampled into meat mud by horse hooves.

But the distance of about a hundred steps is only ten seconds for the cavalry charge. The powerful bow and crossbow can't shoot for a few rounds at all, and in an instant it rushed to the Ming army.

"Welcome to the enemy!"

With Meng Da's last order, the front row spearmen inserted the tail of the gun into the soil and aimed at the Mongolian cavalry sprinting at the forty-five degrees. At the same time, the crossbowmen behind him began to pull out the swords at their waists and prepare to fight with the cavalry rushing in close combat.

The dull sound of impact continued to sound everywhere in the Ming army's positions. The impact of heavy-armed war horses galloping even knocked the soldiers in the front row to fly several meters high.

Looking at the cruel scene of the battle formation ahead, Chen Yichen subconsciously held the hilt of the sword tightly. This was the bravest warrior of the Ming Dynasty and the bloodiest man in the Han family. But after this battle, countless people will sleep on the wasteland and turn into a dust of history!

The flesh and blood body of the spear formation finally stopped the charge of Mongolian cavalry. Without the bonus of speed, the cavalry was no longer the "god of war" of ancient troops.

The knife and axe took the opportunity to go up and directly cut off the legs of the Mongolian war horses. The heavy armored cavalry riding on it fell down. Before they could struggle to stand up, countless sharp blades pierced their throats and could no longer make any sound.

Looking at his most powerful cavalry, who was unable to penetrate the formation of the Ming army, the expression on Tai Shi Yexian's face finally showed a touch of solemnity.

At the same time, the man in black who had retreated from Yaoerling before appeared behind Yesen again.

"Taoshi, Chen Yichen is not as easy to deal with as you think."

"Are you praising your opponent?"

Yesen didn't look back, but his tone was a little surprised.

"commend?"

Hearing this word, a self-deprecating sneer appeared on the face of the man in black.

"It was because I underestimated this maid and that I fell to my current situation. It is impossible for a person to fall twice in the same place."

Hearing this, Yesen said disapprovingly: "So what if I underestimate him? Strength is the only factor that determines the outcome."

The strong naturally have the confidence of the strong. The Taishi also spent ten years unifying Mongolia, subduing the Jurchens, suppressing North Korea, and traversing thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the north of the desert.

Now he won the battle of national fortune without bloodshed and captured the supreme emperor Zhu Qizhen of the Ming Dynasty. How could he put Chen Yichen at the same level?

The stalemate on the battlefield is only temporary, and soon the tribal guards will enter the Ming army from the flanks, which will be the beginning of the defeat of the Southern Barbarians!

"The army is strong and powerful, so naturally there is no need to take Chen Yichen seriously."

The man in black behind him praised him, and then continued, "I have a heartless request. If I can defeat Chen Yichen's reinforcements, can I hand over the Duke Cheng and his son to me?"

The Taishi Yesen, who had always been calm, showed a playful look on his face when facing the man in black.

Then he turned around and asked, "What, are you planning to kill your father and brother?"

That’s right, the man in black who has always stood behind Taishi Yexian is nothing else, but Zhu Ji, the second son of Duke Cheng’s mansion!

"What are father and brother? I only know the revenge of killing my mother, and I am irreconcilable!"

Zhu Ji's eyes were full of ferociousness. When the Duke's wife Lin was sentenced to death, he watched his mother hanging by a white silk by his servant.

The father, who was once arrogant, stood in the house and looked at his mother with a cold and ruthless breath in the face of his begging and crying.

When did Zhu Yong worry about the love between husband and wife for more than 20 years?

You are unkind and I am unrighteous. From now on, there is no saying about your father and brother, only your enemies!

Yesen was not interested in intervening in Duke Cheng's family affairs, but Zhu Ji's hatred look was very suitable for his wishes.

The benefits that can bury a hidden stake by the Ming army’s decision-making level are unimaginable.

This time, he was able to control the trends of the pro-supporting army throughout the whole process. In addition to the eunuch Guo Jing, the governor of Datong, who acted as a double-faced spy in the early stage and provided important information, Zhu Ji was considered an indelible contribution in the later stage!

"Okay, I promise you."

The Grand Master also responded very readily. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was already in hand, and a Duke Cheng Guo could no longer show his value.

Just as Yesen finished speaking, the tribal guards led by Boluo Maulohai finally moved to the flank of the army behind Chen Yichen Hall.

The traditional Mongolian string control personnel were actually like the military households of the Ming Dynasty. They were usually in a state of half peasant and half soldiers. Only when the tribal leaders or the Khan were conscripted would they take up weapons to fight with the army.

But every Mongolian tribe will have a completely full-time personal guard who plays the role of a professional soldier.

This is the tribal guard, called "Na Keer" in Mongolian.

The biggest advantage of cavalry combat is its mobility. The Taishi also lets the equipped cavalry to rush directly to the formation, which does not mean that the Mongols will give up the attack method they are best at.

In a sense, the head-on battle of equipped cavalry is to cover the flank attack of the tribe's personal guards.

The Mongols used this move countless times on the battlefield and even created a brilliant Mongolian empire. Now it is nothing more than a reuse of the same trick.

"Report to the admiral that the left-wing Wata's personal guard appeared!"

The scouts scattered around the military formation immediately conveyed the news that Wata's personal guards were.

After hearing this military situation, Wu Rui rode his horse forward and bowed to Chen Yichen and said, "Admiral, I am willing to lead the army to fight!"

The fighting spirit on Wu Rui's face was beyond words, and he was eager to fight with the Wastu guard again.

Because of the battle at Yaoerling, the Fujian cavalry was objectively at a disadvantage. If the Taishi had not been targeted first, he would have targeted Zhu Qizhen and did not want to be too entangled and announced his retreat, the reinforcements led by Wu Rui might have suffered heavy casualties.

There is nothing to say about being inferior to others, but if you are afraid of being afraid to take action, it is definitely not Wu Rui's nature!

The children of a military family, from the beginning of their grandfather's generation, followed Emperor Yongle's northern expedition, and later, their father served as the personal guard of Duke Chengguo, and fought with the Mongols for decades.

How can family inheritance be shamed on yourself?

"What I want is not to fight, but to defeat the other party. Can you do it?"

The tribal guards are equivalent to the ace in Yesen's hands, and they are also the main force that pursues the defeated soldiers.

Only by defeating them can Chen Yichen's rear troops win the time to retreat. This battle is quite unacceptable and must win!

"If you can't defeat Wata's personal guard, the last general will die in Tumu Fort!"

Wu Rui directly issued a military order, and he also knew the importance of this battle. If he lost, it would mean that the flanks of the rear army would be quickly broken through. As well as the more than 20,000 robes including Admiral Chen, few people might be able to return to Huailai City in the rear alive.

"If you can't win, I will die in Tumu Fort."

Chen Yichen Dandan replied, then said to Li Da, Cang Huotou and others behind him: "Now it is the moment of life and death. This admiral will personally lead a large army to fight against Wastu's personal guards. You and others have the courage to die!"

Wu Rui has the blood and courage of the Ming Tiger Ben, and Chen Chen has no doubt about this.

But he led the only few thousand Fujian cavalry, but he could not defeat the 10,000-watt sect guards.

Chen Yichen still did not have enough reserve troops, and he did not dare to draw the rear guards who had completed the array at will.

The only one who can reinforce Wu Rui is his own personal guard!

If you want to survive, you must have the determination to burn your boats. Chen Yichen's palace rear army has reached a desperate situation.
