"The entire cavalry team stepped forward a hundred steps!!"

Wang Tong shouted loudly, and the messengers on the chariot began to pass on their mission to the horse team with copper whistles and flags. Ma Sanbiao, who was on the right side of the cavalry line, raised the knife in his hand and leaned forward.

The flag beside Ma Sanbiao also swung forward. When it finally stopped, the flag was tilted forward, and the cavalry brigade that had just stood in front of the confrontation began to move. The number of times the flag swung and the angle of the tilt represent the way and degree of the team's action. Although the cavalry in the brigade was moving, they were just walking slowly.

This is the first time that the Ming army has begun to attack since the formation of the two sides. Under the tactic of the chariot formation, the chariot formation itself is a torso full of thorns, while the cavalry outside the camp are limbs and weapons used to attack.

With a large-scale movement of nearly five thousand cavalry, the Tartars naturally would not react without reaction. The central army that had just traveled slowly left the array and also walked forward.

Moreover, this time, the central army was about 4,000 more cavalrymen, and the queues on both sides were ready to face the Ming cavalry at any time with their superior strength.

The center of the battle situation is the confrontation between the cavalry on both sides, but not all. You can see the Tartars commanders running from the golden flag to other queues, and thousands of cavalry and brigades separated and began to move towards the west side of the entire battlefield.

"The enemy has thousands of cavalry heading west!!"

The guards above the watchtower were loudly informing him of his observation. In the center of the Huwei Army's position, four large trucks had already formed a wooden platform. The watchtower was on the wooden platform, and Wang Tong was also on the wooden platform. When he heard the notice, he surrounded the watchtower and stared at the suddenly separated cavalry formation.

The direction of the movement of the Tartar cavalry team was moving towards the flank of the Jizhen side van formation, but there was no movement to him. Li Hutou shouted loudly below:

"The Third Battalion of the Second Battalion of the Musketeers is loading ammunition and medicine, and is ready to change the shooting position!!"

Li Hutou and Tan Bing divided the entire chariot camp into two areas, one was responsible for half. Although the direction of the Tartar cavalry movement is separated by a side van, the Huwei Army must make advance arrangements.

"No, no, the Tartars have just conducted a trial attack on both positions, and they will not just set up restraints in Jizhen!"

Wang Tong frowned and said to himself, then raised his voice and shouted loudly:

"Military gun soldiers, artillery teams, archers are ready, and they are not allowed to make orders or fire at will!!"

The following agreed, but Wang Tong's order had no practical significance, which was just an arrangement on the battlefield, and Wang Tong was a little anxious.

Faced with the advantage and his own Tartar military battalion, of course, he would not move lightly, but he also lost the position of taking the initiative to attack. He could only watch the opponent's army take action. He drove away the old and weak to try the attack. Wang Tong didn't know what to do next, and it was because he didn't know that he was anxious.

There were different battles with the Tartars several times, which means that there were always deviations in the advance response, which felt very bad.

"The enemy's central army opened its mouth to the west, and one of them seemed to be a team of infantrymen, with more than 3,000 people...

Even the soldiers on the tower said it was not very sure. In fact, even Wang Tong was in the location, he could easily see the new infantry of the opponent. There were infantry on the grassland. Why did the Mongols, who were mainly cavalry, abandon the cavalry with stronger power and stronger impact instead of using infantry.

The answer is very simple. Wang Tong reacted the next moment. This was an infantryman composed of Han people. In the middle of the Jiajing period, there was a huge plague in Shanxi and Datong. In order to avoid the plague, a large number of Han people ran away from the Britons. In addition, the rise of Altan's tribe, there were nearly 200,000 Han people in the Ming Dynasty. This population size was enough to gather an army composed of Han people, far more than 3,000.

The infantry team had no formation, it was quite scattered. The reason why it could be called a team was because there were cavalry Youge around this array. It looked like the herdsmen who were driving away the flock of sheep. Because of the driving force of these cavalry, the infantry team slowly moved forward.

"The Grand Commander, the east side of the Tatar Army Town has also opened an opening, and thousands of infantrymen are heading to the military formation in Ji Town!"

There were quite a lot of infantry there. It seems that the Tartars' judgment on the strength of the Ming army was based on the size of the army and the number of people.

"The enemy is on the front, ready to fight, ready!!"

The shouts of the generals below came one after another, and Jizhen was almost the same. At this moment, he heard the gongs ringing in Jizhen. The positions of the two armies separated, and the military orders were also implemented according to the original rules. Wang Tong knew what this order meant and looked at the

Sure enough, the Tartar cavalry who had just detoured to the west came on the flank of the chariot formation. On the big car opposite to the Jizhen chariot formation, a man hurriedly ran off the car and came to Wang Tong to report loudly:

"Master, please send a letter from Jizhen, please transfer the horse team to support!"

After the Ming army's cavalry stepped forward a hundred steps, they stopped. The Tartar cavalry team opposite him no longer stepped forward. Wang Tong roughly glanced at the battlefield, nodded and said:

"Transfer the order, Ma Yong led 3,000 cavalrymen to the subordinates of Deputy General Yang to obey the order, Ma Sanbiao and Zhang Lei were guarding each other!"

The messenger took the order loudly and ran towards the other side. If he sent Zhang Lei, who was originally Ji Town, to lead the horse team, if there was an urgent need to be transferred back, it might not be too convenient. If Ma Yong of Datong Town is used to lead, there is no need to worry about this.

"Check the loading of the green medicine and check the complete fuse!!"

The following musket soldiers began to order, and Mu En and Zhang Wu also loudly ordered the artillery team to start rectifying the artillery. Mu En hesitated there, but still rode a horse to the Mutai and asked:

"Master, how can the artillery be fired this time!?"

From the beginning of the battle to the present, Mu En has been a little depressed. He has been in the artillery team for a long time and has roared with the cannons, as if the sky was falling and the earth was cracking. The thunder exploded and felt very happy. But from the beginning to the present, Wang Tong did not let him go and felt bored.

"Stay calm and wait for my order!"

Wang Tong looked at the battlefield in the distance and ordered in a deep voice. Mu En was depressed, but the military order was as good as a mountain and it still had to be implemented, so it was naturally vague.

Since Wang Tong did not issue a new order, he is still using a pound of cannons. This is no different from setting off firecrackers for the soldiers in the artillery team. It is really boring.

The infantry formations sent by the Tartars were getting closer and closer under the cavalry, but these infantry were even worse than the old and weak cavalry who rushed forward. They shrank down the Tartar cavalry that drove them forward and kept cutting down people. Under the threat of death, they kept moving forward.

"Master, the big carts on the Tartars moved, heading towards our formation and Jizhen!"

The Tartars' cart? Wang Tong was puzzled. After a moment of contemplation, he was moved by something else and shouted angrily:

"Why not fire!!"

According to the signs before the military formation, the infantry's vanguards had already entered the range, but neither the musket nor the cannons were fired. In contrast, there was still some commotion between the muskets and artillery soldiers.

"Master, these infantrymen are Han people!!"

I don’t know who said in the queue that the Huwei Army was disciplined strictly, but the distance between Wang Tong and the soldiers below was not that far. At this time, almost all the soldiers from the generals to the soldiers below were hesitant, and everyone didn’t know what to do.

Wang Tong was stunned, then became furious and shouted loudly:

"They are Han people, but they are working hard for the Tartars. Are they bare-handed? If they rush up, will they be ruthless to you?"

The crying howlings outside can be heard clearly in the military formation. They are all from Shanxi. The sound is indeed Han people. The military formation is quiet, and Wang Tong said loudly again:

"They have weapons in their hands, why don't they fight against the Tartars around them, why do they still rush forward? You should be pitiful to such a hateful person, what about your own lives!?"

The infantry driven by the Tartars got within range. When they saw the bodies of the people and horses lodging there, they were all trembling with fear and didn't know what to do. The Tartar cavalry who drove them had no intention of being ruthless. The sabers of several feet long were chopped down directly, and one hesitant companions were cut to death, and blood and screams forced them to move forward.

After eighty steps, some Tartars shouted in Chinese:

"Rare, they won't open fire. If you rush over, you'll give you a way out!!"

The Han infantry who were threatened gradually accelerated. All Han people may not dare to attack. If I rushed over, I would be able to survive. If the Ming army on the opposite side took action, we would not be lenient. In the face of life and death, these ignorant people would not care about any righteousness or nation.

The people in the front started running, and the crowd began to speed up. They rushed up with red eyes, clasped their weapons, and howled.

Eighty steps... Seventy steps... Sixty steps... Fifty steps... Get closer and closer, the Tartar cavalry who drove them also began to gather their formations and follow the infantry's formation. The situation instantly became dangerous...

"Open fire!!"

The generals in the Huwei Army's formation shouted loudly, but no muskets followed immediately. The Tartar infantry team rushed through a few more steps, and only a few more muskets were fired, then more than a dozen, then dozens, and then hundreds of muskets. The roar of the Tartar infantry was stopped forty steps before the chariot formation.
