To put it forward, to a more popular term, it is "straight push".

This is not Zhu Cilang's blind confidence, but when facing so many cavalry advances, the best tactics of the musketeers are originally to gather together and use the advantage of firepower to fight against the enemy.

If it is dispersed, there are a hundred ways for cavalry to kill the infantry.

What surprised others was that Zhu Ciyang did not immediately put the tens of thousands of cavalry in the Ming army on the battlefield.

This may be exactly what some people think, but it is undoubtedly unacceptable for those cavalry generals who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

Bater couldn't help but come to Zhu Cixuan and said, "Your Highness, please don't worry about these things. Our Qinghai Guard's cavalry can defeat the Hoshuot Mongolia, and naturally, it will be even more of the Junggar Mongolia."

Zhu Cilang laughed: "It's not the reason. You are the one who guards on both sides first. Without the orders of this palace, you don't need to join the battle."

Although Batuer accepted the order, his face was obviously dissatisfied.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Cixuan whispered: "Qinghai Wei is of course reliable, so I need your help to keep an eye on those who are not reliable enough. Do you understand?"

When Bater heard this, he was stunned at first, and then immediately looked happy: "Please rest assured, your highness, I will fully understand!"

Bartel was not worried that it would be easier to obtain, or that it would not be so important. What he was worried about was not being able to obtain the task from Zhu Cixuan.

After Bater left, Zhu Cilang also breathed a sigh of relief and looked ahead.

"Now, let me take a look at what the Junggars used to play with the Qing Dynasty for so long!"

The battle has begun.

This was not the first time the Ming army's musketeers had dealt with such a situation. They were familiar with the formation of commanders' shouts and loaded the bullets. Then, after the Junggar cavalry entered the range, they immediately fired.

"Bang bang bang!"

The barrels of thousands of guns were emitted at the same time, giving people a slightly magical feeling.

But the Junggar cavalry obviously would not feel that there was anything magical. The hundreds of Junggar cavalry who rushed to the front were caught on the spot, and many of the war horses were also hit by bullets and neighed for a long time.

Zhu Cixuan used a telescope to capture the scene and felt relieved.

This shows that the range of the Ming army muskets is longer than that of the Junggars.

In this era, longer range means more advanced!

In the Junggar main formation, the main general Baturhui Taiji's face changed when he heard the gunshots: "The muskets in the hands of these Han people are actually more advanced than ours?"

A general from Junggar said: "Huitaiji, it must be the ones who are doing it by the Russians. Most of the muskets they sell to us are not the best."

Batur sneered and said, "Of course I know that the Russians cannot sell us the best muskets, but since that is the case, are other red barbarians willing to sell the best muskets to the Han people?"

This question was thrown out, and everyone present was speechless.

Batur said coldly: "Forget it, no matter what kind of musket he has, as long as we can win this war today, will we be able to get their muskets from the hands of the Han people?"

While speaking, the Junggar cavalry had already launched a counterattack.

As a "nation on horseback", the Junggar cavalry did not need to form formations and shoot step by step like the infantry of the Ming army. They had their unique way.

I saw a Junggar cavalry sitting steadily on the back of a galloping horse, tightly clamping the horse's abdomen, holding the musket in his hands aimed at it, and then directly fired.

"Bang bang bang!"

Amid the sound of many muskets, the Ming army's musketeers began to fall.

It is roughly estimated that at least hundreds or even more Ming army musketeers were shot, and many died on the spot!

Zhu Cilang's face finally changed when he looked at this scene.

This is the first time since the Ming Dynasty's musketeers entered the war, an enemy army was able to kill so many musketeers in an instant in one battle.

The reason is very simple. Before, the Ming army used hot weapons to bully the enemy's cold weapons, but now the Ming army is confronting the Junggar people who are also using hot weapons!

"Interesting." Zhu Cilang said to himself.

Both sides kept firing, and time kept passing.

At some point, the sun in the sky had reached the center and began to set towards the west.

Under the sunlight, tens of thousands of troops on both sides fought desperately.

Amid the banging muskets, the casualties of the Ming and Junggar troops were increasing rapidly.

Relying on stronger muskets and higher firepower density, the number of casualties of the Ming army was significantly less than that of the Junggar army.

But the problem is that there were 30,000 people in the Junggars, while the Ming army had only 10,000 musketeers.

Even if the ratio of three to one is completely acceptable, the Junggars are completely able to accept it, not to mention that the current casualties between the two sides have not reached such a huge difference.

Batur Huitaiji smiled.

"Although the Han people are very strong, they are just that!"

Many Junggar generals also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Ming army had muskets, which was something they had known for a long time.

The reason why the Junggars are completely worthwhile is that the Junggars also have muskets, and the Junggars also have confidence in their own musket soldiers!

Batuer smiled and said, "Transfer the order and send the most elite 10,000 cavalry to rush directly from the flank to their main formation, and then encircle and eat their central army!"

A general from Junggar could not help but say, "Huitaiji, they still have tens of thousands of cavalry who have not been put into the battlefield."

The implication is that if Batuer did this, he would be intercepted by the Ming cavalry.

Batuer sneered: "Ten thousand cavalry? They are just ten thousand idiots holding bows and arrows. We only need a volley of muskets to defeat them. Besides, those cavalry have not joined the battlefield for a long time. Don't you think the most important reason here is that the little prince doesn't trust them? Okay, follow my orders!"

Batu's order was firmly implemented.

Ten thousand Junggar cavalry rushed out from both sides and surrounded the two wings of the Ming Dynasty's central musketeers.

This is a very radical move because they will be blocked by the left and right wings of the Ming Dynasty and the Central Army.

But it was obvious that Batuer was not worried about this, because he clearly noticed the disadvantages of the Ming army's formation.

When musketeers gather together, they do have a numerical advantage, but this will also lead to musketeers' defense being quite poor and their mobility is extremely low, which can be described as bulky.

The Junggar cavalry not only had firepower advantages comparable to the Ming army, but also had mobility advantages that the Ming army did not have. Therefore, they could quickly break into the small gap between the central army and the left and right wings of the Ming army, thereby achieving the effect of dividing and encircling the Ming army.
