The sun shines on the sand of the river beach, with a pale luster. There is a large sparse forest deep in the horizon, and the treetops are undulating in the breeze.It was just a clear and peaceful morning.
Zhu Gaoxu stood outside the barracks, watching the shadows of a group of people coming from afar from the sparse woods.The soldiers next to them were waiting silently.
The cavalry gradually approached, protecting an unmanned horse in the middle; but there seemed to be something on the back of the empty horse.
Only when a group of people get closer can people see clearly that there is a head on the back of the empty horse!
The blood-stained human head and hair were dirty and messy, and were fixed to the horse's back by a rope.
There was a piece of rice paper in his mouth on his head.
Zhu Gaoxu signaled the soldiers to take off the paper and took it over to see that it was a letter written by Zhu Gaoxu to think about the Dharma, with blood on it.
Damn it!Some generals have already cursed.
Zhu Gaoxu's face was burned into a bronze color and red like pig's liver.He couldn't say a word, his face was so hot that it seemed like he had just been slapped.
After a long time, he finally took a deep breath and then put on a sentence: I ordered the entire army to set off immediately and continue to march towards Meng Yangcheng!
It's hard to reason.Zhu Gaoxu said a voice in his heart, but he didn't say this.
Shame and anger are useless.
What the opponent did completely made Zhu Gaoxu miscalculated.
Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder, is his way of thinking so far away from the ancients?
Why is the reaction of the toast always different from what he thinks!
But Zhu Gaoxu doesn't think he is wrong!In this world, no matter what ordinary people think, some things in the dark will always operate according to objective rules.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't believe that Si Shi could get any benefits by doing this.The final result was nothing more than that both sides were very unhappy, as if they each had eaten a piece of dirt.
...The next day, just when Zhu Gaoxu thought that the Si chieftain wanted to avoid war and stubbornly fight with him, he guessed wrong again.
As soon as the sky was dawn, the scouts came to the camp to report urgently and found that a large number of chieftain troops were gathering in the north!
Is he?Zhu Gaoxu immediately cursed, not knowing whether it was absurd or a surprise.
Until now, except for guessing the enemy's situation in the first battle, it was just a tactical thing; until now, Zhu Gaoxu no longer knew what Si Shi wanted to do, nor did he understand why his opponent did this.
He wanted to break his head and understand the psychology of the method of thinking and practicing... Maybe the method of thinking and practicing killed the envoy of the Ming army and wanted to force his face, so he was willing to set up a decisive battle?
Zhu Gaoxu himself also thinks this inference is really far-fetched, but who knows what he thinks about?
Anyway, a fact is before us: with the lethality of weapons of this era, only by gathering people to fight decisively on a small battlefield is the most efficient way of war.
Otherwise, they will have to fight until the year of the monkey and horse.
Zhu Gaoxu slapped the simple wooden table with a palm and immediately said: Zhao Ping, immediately send someone to order the battalions to gather the army to form a formation and fight the enemy head-on!Send someone to tell Diao Tuyu that his troops would be placed on both sides of our troops, and the coalition forces would be deployed in the word "六".
Zhao Ping clasped his fists and said: I got the order!
Zhu Gaoxu didn't take off his armor last night. At this time, he picked up the wide-brimmed iron hat and put it on, took the Yanling sword and walked out of the central army's tent.He took the reins of the brown horse from the guards and asked for another long-handled knife to hang it on his back.
The sound of trumpets on all sides began to sob, floating melodiously on the ground, drums of war in the barracks roared, and flags fluttered.Vitality seemed to appear early in the morning on the entire plateau.
As soon as the sun emerged from the shadow of the mountain in the east, Zhu Gaoxu and a team of elite cavalry took the lead in crossing the sparse forest in the north. He saw the enemy soldiers with his own eyes.
On the sand, on the gentle slopes, and beside the sparse woods, there are soldiers of chieftains everywhere. It seems that they have invested a lot of money this time!
Zhu Gaoxu didn't ask anyone why. Anyway, the chieftains had few cavalry, and their mounts were mainly war elephants.
But after careful observation, he found that the battle elephants of Meng Yangjun were behind, and elephants could be seen from time to time in the woods and behind the hillside; the large army in front was only infantry and vehicles.
Sishi didn't seem to be doing it completely. They had suffered from the Ming munitions with elephant soldiers, and now they have not deployed elephants in front to rush forward.
The two armies spread out on a small piece of land on the vast plateau and slowly approached each other.
One after another, the Ming army's You Yong cavalry came from this sparse forest, wandering around, staring at the distance of the chieftains.Zhu Gaoxu also turned his horse's head and slapped his horse back to his formation.
When the Central Army arrived, the Qianzheng, the deputy Qianzheng, and the generals gathered over.
Zhu Gaoxu suppressed a lot of anger in his heart, and there was nothing to be said for a while, so he couldn't say a passionate word.
He looked back and pointed to the sparse forest in front and shouted loudly: The decisive victory is here.Before noon, completely defeat the enemy soldiers!
After hearing this, the generals shouted: I will win!
The infantry and cavalry soldiers nearby also shouted loudly, and there was a noise on the entire battlefield.
Zhu Gaoxu said: Wang Bin, lead the guard cavalry and follow me first.Liu Ying and Wei Da’s troops followed up with firearms.Everyone returns to their camps and sets off immediately.
The generals clasped their fists and said: Get the order!
The Yi Guard and the Personal Army had more than 200 cavalry, with triangular red flags on their backs, and soon gathered into a formation.Wang Bin led the main force of the cavalry gradually emerged from the formation.
Countless war horses walked slowly, and dull sounds were made on the ground.More than two thousand iron cavalry quickly spread to the sparse woods.
Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse and ran out of the edge of the woods first. He looked into the distance and observed for a moment. Then he reached out and pulled out the long-handed knife from his back, slowly pointed straight to the sky, and shouted: Kill!
kill!The shouts of the army came one after another, conveying the will of the central army.
Countless iron hooves began to jog on the grass and gradually accelerated.
Boom boom boom... The iron horses ran together, like a flood, spreading to the opposite side at a visible speed!
The elephants of the chieftain army were rushing forward, but the cavalry speed was the fastest tactical and maneuverable force in this era.
The chieftains could only watch the Ming cavalry keep approaching. They wanted to change their formation temporarily, but it was too late.
The sound of strings in front is as dense as fried beans, and the arrows riding and shooting fly into the air like rain.
The light cavalry column first rushed to the central formation of the enemy soldiers, and then shot in detour. The enemy soldiers also fought back with bows and arrows, and the air was densely filled with black shadows.
In an instant, the Ming cavalry brigade wearing iron armor and holding a cherry gun rushed towards the front.
Before the Ming army's iron cavalry rushed to the scene, the chieftain infantry was in chaos.
The iron cavalry rushed into the crowd directly, and the battlefield was in full swing, screaming everywhere.
Many chieftain soldiers held long-handled and short-blade weapons and wanted to siege the Ming cavalry; however, when groups of iron horses rushed over, they immediately avoided scattering, which was just human instinct.
Zhu Gaoxu took the long sword and swept across from the right side. With a crack, he saw blood beads splashing in the air and a native man fell to the ground.
The soldiers around them all took the lead, all of whom wanted to seize the opportunity to stand up in front of the prince. The sword lights flashed, and the fierce cavalry was simply terrifying.
A torrent of iron cavalry swept through the crowd, which was not something chaotic infantry could resist at all, and the enemy soldiers had almost no power to resist.
Some natives gathered with wooden shields to resist the iron cavalry, but heavy people rushed over and directly knocked open the shield wall.
The chieftain army had a large number of people, but the formations of the fourth field were all disintegrated.
Wow!The elephants' screams came from the north, and the large groups of war elephants slowly approached.
If the cavalry attacks the elephant soldiers, they will definitely suffer losses.
However, the battlefield is open and the cavalry can run easily; only if the general who has a brain in the air can he have to fight hard with the cavalry even though he can clearly run?
Zhu Gaoxu took a red flag and detoured to the left wing and turned around to retaliate.
Wang Bin and others were Zhu Gaoxu's personal military generals in the Battle of Jingnan. At this time, the cavalry teams did not need military orders, and everyone followed the red flag here and changed direction one after another.
Soon, the elephants in the north gradually stopped moving forward.Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and saw that after the cavalry, the Ming army infantry ran forward, and even the guns were carried by someone to run.
Diao Tuyu's men deployed on both wings did not even see a single person.They were so slow that they had not crossed the woods yet; so much so that the wings of the Ming army were now empty.
Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said: You two, go and pass the order of Wang Bin, transfer the Zuoqian General Team of the Cavalry to the right wing, watch the main movements of the horse team and wait for an opportunity to advance and retreat.
The two personal soldiers were ordered, stretched their necks to see Wang Bin's position, and slapped them away.
Crack Crack Crack Crack Crack Crack Cracks in the center, and they ran and quickly entered the battlefield.
Countless wide-eaves iron helmets are undulating on the ground, like a dense torrent of steel. Even if there are only seven or eight thousand infantrymen, the formation is very large.
The chieftain infantry ran everywhere, and when the Ming army infantry approached, they ran faster.
The crowd, whose establishment had been dispersed by cavalry, had no choice but to face the dense infantry formations with neat arrays.
There were also natives who were not afraid of death and rushed up screaming and immediately faced rows of shield walls and countless spears. They were poked like hornets' nests and covered in blood.
The group of elephant soldiers who had just been transferred by Meng Yangjun rushed back slowly and wanted to run away.The Ming army infantry carried large and small muskets.
At this time, the array of square formations in front of the Ming army changed, three rows of muskets fired in scattered, and the guns everywhere also thundered.On the grass with fresh air, fire shone for a moment and gunpowder smoke rose.
The range of the copper musket could not hit the elephant at all. Only a few scattered chieftain soldiers were shot, and the stone bullets of the cuckoo were just jumping around on the ground.
However, the elephant herd was frightened and ran northward. Many natives also followed the elephants, and the enemy soldiers on the entire battlefield were defeated.
Zhu Gaoxu ordered the cavalry to attack again.
The iron cavalry followed and slashed from all directions. Such a battle was nothing strange. In the Jingnan Campaign, after the victory and defeat were decided in countless battles, both sides followed and massacred with cavalry.
It is like a nightmare to be chased by the defeated soldiers. It is impossible to run away or win.
At this time, the sun had just risen to mid-air, and it was still early before noon.
