Chapter 571
Just like every time they fought against the Ming army, these harassing light cavalry approached the Ming army very quickly. It was impossible for them to get around from the flanks, so they simply rushed directly in front of the Ming army's forward, less than a hundred steps away from the Ming army.
When they were far away, they stopped and jumped off their horses!
They dismounted their horses, bent their bows and nocked arrows, and threw the arrows at the heads of the Ming army.
They didn't care whether they could kill or injure many people in the Ming army's battle formation. They just knew that the posture of dismounting and shooting arrows was a huge humiliation to the Ming army. In their previous battle experience, they had formed this kind of formation many times.
The Ming army could not stand their provocation and humiliation, so they rushed out and disrupted their formation.
That would be just what they wanted.
It would be even better to barely maintain the formation and ignore them. If the arrow falls on the head of the Ming army, no matter how many there are, there will always be casualties. This is a big blow to the morale of the Ming army, and they can shoot
After finishing the arrow, retreat away, keep a sufficient distance, and continue another round.
Or a few rounds!
I don't believe that the Ming army can bear it.
They were also ready to fight the Ming cavalry who came out to stop them. However, that would turn into a chasing and killing competition between Qingqi in front of the formation of the two armies. In such a competition, Hou Jin's Qingqi would
They have extremely inflated self-confidence.
Unfortunately, this time, the Ming army they encountered was very different from the previous ones.
They fell off their horses, and they bent their bows and fired arrows. Before the arrows landed on the heads of the Ming army's array, the Ming army's array suddenly became tighter, and the cowhide shields turned over in the Ming army's array. The entire array seemed to suddenly
A top cover was previously added.
There is almost no gap in the top cover.
The arrow landed on the top cover, making a dull popping sound, as if mocking the cavalry's bows and arrows, as if they were children's toys and had no effect at all.
In the array of the Ming army, the sound of drums was as rapid as rain, intertwined with the falling arrows that kept falling on the shields, just like a low movement.
"stop!"
Houjin Zuoling, the leader of the team, loudly stopped his men from ineffective shooting.
"Mount your horse! Get fifty steps closer!"
He shouted loudly, and the cavalrymen climbed onto their horses from the ground and pushed towards the Ming army's formation.
The Ming army's array was silent. Just when they approached less than fifty steps and had not yet dismounted, the top cover covering the entire array suddenly cracked, and the Ming army's array suddenly became loose.
Behind the array, rows of black muzzles were exposed.
Before Jin Zuoling could give the order to fire, a sharp whistle was heard, and then bursts of white smoke rose from where the cowhide tops of the Ming army's array heads had been.
The white smoke was so thick that Amin, who was behind, only saw his own light cavalry, like wheat being cut down in the wind, falling in large pieces in an instant.
The dozens of cavalrymen who luckily did not fall on the spot reacted very quickly. Almost as soon as they discovered that their companions had fallen, they had already turned their horses and ran towards the rear as hard as they could.
Their mission is to harass, it is not their mission to rush into battle, and they will not be punished if they just escape back.
It is a pity that the fastest runner only ran for more than 20 steps, and then it was as if someone gave him a knife from behind. He and his horse fell to the ground and never got up again.
.
Among the roaring, there was the tragic neighing of the war horses, but soon, the neighing of the war horses was completely covered by the continuous roaring.
In just a few dozen breaths, the more than a hundred Hou Jin cavalry who were harassing the Ming army in front of the formation, including men and horses, all fell on the snow, and there was no more movement.
"Firegun!?"
Amin's eyes narrowed slightly. This was the first time he saw such dense and clean firecracker strikes from the Ming army. He didn't feel sorry for the loss of more than a hundred people, but he hated the soldier who led the team.
The leader was stupid. He could clearly use bows and arrows to harass the opponent beyond the range of the fire cannons, but he rushed in front of the Ming army's fire cannons, killing himself and all his men.
The sound of gunfire disappeared, the war drums in the Ming army's array rang again, and the Ming army's array also moved forward again, still a group of thirty or fifty steps, still silent, no shouting, no slogans,
It was like an indestructible city wall, slowly pushing towards Amin.
Amin remained silent, but did not issue any more orders.
He was observing the Ming army's formation.
The Ming troops on both sides were also advancing with the Ming army's vanguard, a hundred steps behind them. Their formations obviously had different subordinates, but the momentum and momentum of the forward march were increasing.
In terms of speed, there isn't much difference.
Even the method of adjusting the pace after walking a certain distance is exactly the same.
Amin's eyes narrowed, and he began to feel that Azig's defeat at the hands of this Ming army was not too unfair. Even if the Ming army did not have cannons, Azig's three thousand people would be able to defeat this Ming army.
I'm afraid the loss won't be too small.
Such a Ming army was definitely the most powerful Ming army that Amin had ever seen in his life. Just when his light cavalry had just harassed them, if there was even a trace of panic or looseness in the Ming army's array, he would issue an order for the entire army to charge.
However, the Ming army did not give him this opportunity.
Their silence and calmness, as well as the way they moved as if they were one person, were like a group of emotionless killing weapons.
I'm afraid this battle won't be as easy as I thought!
He was waiting, hoping that Azig on the left wing could create opportunities for him. He never thought that his elite soldiers with blue flags would need others to create fighter planes for them. However, the opponent's cannons had not moved yet, and he
We can't take the risk of pressing our own brigade up.
On the left and right of the Ming army, less than three miles away from the Ming army, Azig, who was on horseback, was also looking in the direction of Amin.
He also saw the scene on the battlefield just now, but he was not shocked by the Ming army's combat power. In his eyes, except for the cannons, the Ming army's firearms were not worthy of fear.
Something to mention.
If the muskets of the Ming army were truly invincible, then it was not Hou Jin who was attacking the Ming army, but the Ming army who was attacking them.
He was also waiting, waiting for Amin to lead the Ming army's cannons to fire. Only then was he able to take revenge with a white flag.
He will attack the left wing of the Ming army with his entire army, even if many people will be killed by the Ming army's firecrackers!
Of course people will die in a war, but dead people are nothing. As long as Houjin wins this battle, all Ming troops present will die!
This is what Amin said and what he wanted. This time, he didn't even listen to the Khan's order not to allow them to do this!
