Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    With the Ming Dynasty's current technology, it is naturally impossible to create later generations of flares. The main key is that the flares must be filled with magnesium powder or aluminum powder, and neither of these two metals can be extracted now, but this is not a big deal.  It doesn't matter, after all, ordinary fireworks can also illuminate when they burn in the sky, but the brightness is lower and the time is shorter, but it is still much better than using a torch.  When the Ming Dynasty's army fired flares into the sky, the burst of light finally illuminated the situation on the battlefield clearly. Although the time lasted for a short time, subsequent flares were still fired non-stop, so it was easy for Zhengde to  Having seen the entire battlefield situation in his eyes, he immediately made some calculations in his mind and immediately conveyed his orders one by one.  The function of the flares is two-way. Not only Zhengde could clearly see the situation on the battlefield, but Huadang on the opposite side also took this opportunity to finally see the situation around him. Speaking of which, when they were sneak attacks, if they, the prairie cavalry, failed to break through at first  The opponent's camp will then be in a very disadvantageous situation. After all, the cavalry has no charging speed and has simply lost its biggest advantage. In addition, the Ming army has more troops than them, so Danghuadang can see clearly.  During the battlefield situation, they found that many cavalry teams on their side had been intertwined with the Ming Dynasty's army, and it was very difficult to withdraw.  "Assemble the troops and prepare to retreat!" Hua Dang is also a very decisive person. He saw that his sneak attack failed to have an effect. Instead, he trapped the army into the siege of the Ming army. If he did not retreat, he might even be killed.  He couldn't escape, so he immediately gave the order to retreat without hesitation. After all, they were cavalry.  Even if he is surrounded, as long as he can increase his horse speed, it is still very easy to break out of the relatively fragile encirclement of the Ming army. Even if there is a loss in the end, it is within his tolerance.  The thousands of elites under Hua Dang are the core strength of Duo Yanwei.  After hearing the order, they immediately began to assemble with Huadang as their loyalists, and then formed a retreat formation and began to leave. As long as the cavalry of the Duoyan Guards around them were not surrounded by the Ming army, they also turned around and ran away.  Surrounded cavalry.  They also began to charge back. As long as they could break out of the encirclement, it would be impossible for Ming's army to catch up with them.  However, although Huadang was decisive, Zhengde was not easy to mess with. Just when Huadang had just withdrawn from the Ming Dynasty's military camp with his thousands of elites, a group of Ming Dynasty cavalry suddenly rushed out from the west side of the camp.  The leader was Jiang Bin. He had prepared the cavalry before, but because it was too dark, he did not dare to charge without permission. However, now that he had flares and received orders from Zhengde, he immediately charged.  Come out to stop Hua Dang from escaping.  Although Jiang Bin has character problems.  He wanted to move up the camp, but he was a famous warrior in the Ming Dynasty, and the cavalry he led were also elite in the Ming Dynasty. So when he saw Hua Dang's cavalry, he immediately rushed forward without hesitation. Hua Dang naturally  They would not show weakness, so the two cavalrymen launched a fierce fight under the flickering flares. This fight was not only a comparison of strength, but also relied on luck.  After all, the flares flicker on and off, and sometimes the enemy on the opposite side cannot even be seen, so even the strongest cavalry has difficulty showing their true strength. Everything can only be determined by courage and luck.  The duel between cavalry has always been famous for its cruelty.  After every confrontation, a considerable number of people died under the horse. The only people who survived in the end were those with the most courage and considerable luck. Especially now that it was night again, the two men led by Jiang Bin and Hua Dang  The competition between the elite cavalry is even more cruel. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of cavalry have fallen off their horses. In a cavalry battle of this scale, falling off their horses almost marks their death, because no one can  Escape from tens of thousands of horse hooves.  However, Hua Dang has no desperate thoughts. He just wants to escape from the Ming army's camp as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the Ming army's infantry catch up, they will really not be able to escape by then. So Hua Dang is fighting with Jiang Bin.  After entangled for a moment, they immediately fled with their troops. Although Jiang Bin wanted to pursue him, Zhengde was worried about being plotted by Hua Dang in the dark, so he ordered them to turn back to the barracks and continue to intercept the other Duoyan Guards.  The farce of this sneak attack lasted until dawn. The 30,000 cavalry led by Hua Dang failed to attack the Ming army camp. In the end, more than 3,000 cavalry corpses were left behind, and more than 2,000 people were captured.  , it can be said that it was a miserable defeat.  However, in comparison, Ming Dynasty did not feel comfortable this time. The number of soldiers killed and injured in the battle was no less than that of Duoyan Guard. However, Ming Dynasty's military strength already had an advantage, so in general, Ming Dynasty took advantage.  However, although Hua Dang suffered a loss, he did not escape too far. Instead, he set up camp thirty miles north of the Ming army camp. It seemed that Hua Dang did not intend to hide anymore, but was preparing to fight the Ming Dynasty here.  , after all, behind them is Daning,If you retreat further, you will have to let your tribe directly face the Ming army.  Zhengde saw Hua Dang camping thirty miles away, and he laughed happily. After all, Hua Dang had been hiding in Tibet with his army since entering the grassland. Although Zhengde knew that the other party would definitely not give up Daning, he had always been like this  Dragging on, the pressure on the Ming army is also very great, especially the army of 70,000 people. The daily consumption is not a small number. No matter how selfish and wealthy the Ming Dynasty is, it cannot continue to waste in vain like this. Now the other side is finally ready to fight with  He decided that this was just what he wanted.  Zhengde and Zhou Zhong are brothers. It just so happens that although they have not lived together since childhood, they have some similarities in personality. For example, they both believe in reciprocating an eye with their enemies. This time Hua Dang led an army.  Although the sneak attack on the Ming army's camp failed, it also caused many unnecessary casualties to Ming Dynasty, so Zhengde prepared to teach Hua a lesson that he would never forget for the rest of his life.  Just three days after Huadang's sneak attack on the Ming army's camp, Huadang's cavalry also launched a sneak attack on Huadang's camp. However, Huadang, as a generation hero, was naturally on guard, so when Ming's cavalry had just approached the military camp  At that time, the soldiers of Duoyanwei had already noticed it, but Duoyanwei did not have the Ming Dynasty's flares, so they could only defend in the camp and did not dare to rush out to fight the Ming Dynasty cavalry.  What makes Hua Dang feel strange is that these Ming cavalry who attacked by surprise didn't seem to want to fight. They all just left outside the camp. At most, they fired a few rounds of rockets into the camp. Unfortunately, they were already prepared for this.  For Duo Yanwei, there was no threat at all. This strange situation made Hua Dang instinctively feel that something was wrong, and even made him feel a little uneasy intuitively, as if there was a feeling of impending disaster.  It has to be said that Hua Dang himself has a keen sixth sense. Just when he was thinking hard about why the Ming cavalry would use such harassment tactics, in an open space not far from the Duoyanwei camp, following Zhengde's order,  Next, hundreds of artillery pieces opened fire almost at the same time. The hot shells rushed into Duoyanwei's camp with a sharp whistling sound. Screams broke out for a while. It was unknown how many people were injured in this round of shelling.  It turned out that Zhengde had no intention of using cavalry to attack Duoyan Guard's camp. He just asked the cavalry to attract Duoyan Guard's attention, and then mobilized all the artillery brought this time from the rear to a place two miles away from Duoyan Camp.  Then directly use artillery to bombard the opponent's camp. Although the lethality of a single artillery is limited, if hundreds of artillery are used intensively, it will form a terrifying force, especially the psychological pressure on the enemy, which can directly determine  The outcome of a war.  It was not that Huadang had never seen the power of artillery, but this was the first time he had seen the power of hundreds of artillery fires at the same time. In his feeling, hot iron balls dropped from the sky from time to time, whether they were people or  Horses, as long as they are hit by such iron balls, almost always die without being injured. What is even more frightening is that some hot iron balls can even set the tent on fire. As a result, the entire Duoyanwei camp burst into mourning.  There was fire everywhere, dead bodies everywhere, and what was even more frightening was that no one knew when he would be killed by the cannonballs falling from the sky. Even he, the leader of the Duoyan Guard, was no more than those ordinary prairie knights.  Either way, if you are unlucky, you might actually get smashed to death.  Seeing this situation, Hua Dang knew that he could not wait any longer. They had to withdraw from the firing range of the artillery, otherwise the morale of the army would collapse sooner or later. Even if he was really killed by the artillery, I am afraid that the entire Duoyan Guard would immediately fall apart.  In such a situation, the Ming Dynasty only needs to send one envoy to completely merge the entire Duoyan Guard into the Ming Dynasty.  Thinking of this, Hua Dang immediately ordered a retreat. Unfortunately, the harassing Ming cavalry outside would not let them leave easily. As illumination bombs hit the sky, the Duoyan Guard cavalry who had just withdrawn were immediately besieged by countless Ming troops.  , among them there were not only cavalry, but also infantry quietly ambushing outside the Duoyan camp. Therefore, as soon as Huadang withdrew from the camp, he immediately fell into the siege of the Ming army. Even if he could escape in the end, I am afraid that he would not be able to escape.  To suffer huge losses.  Huadang led his cavalry team to rush left and right in the siege of the Ming Dynasty, but no matter which direction he fled, he would eventually be blocked by the Ming army. Especially some Ming troops were also equipped with muskets and a throwing weapon.  The sound of firearms is no worse than that of cannons, and they will explode when they land. Many of the cavalrymen in their Duoyan Guards have their horses' legs injured by these weapons, and the cavalrymen who lost their horses can only stand there and wait to die.
