Chapter 94
【Seeing that Zhu Di had entered his trap, Wala leader Mahamu was ecstatic. He looked at the other two leaders of the tribe, Taiping and Boluo, and his pride was beyond words.】
【It was under his careful planning that Wala preserved his strength, assembled the tribe's most powerful 30,000 cavalry, and set a trap in Hulanhu, waiting for the arrival of the Ming army.】
【Mahamu had full considerations in choosing Hulan and Suhu hypothermia as the battlefield.】
【There are many mountains nearby, which is conducive to the hiding of cavalry troops. Moreover, hiding the cavalry in the mountains also has a great advantage, that is, once the Ming army is discovered, they can use the mountains to rush straight down, making it difficult to stop the momentum. Overwhelm the Ming army's formation in one fell swoop. As long as the Ming army's formation is in chaos, no matter how many people there are, it will not have any effect. They can only be slaughtered by themselves.】
【Mahamu's idea was very simple. He wanted to use his invincible Mongolian cavalry and take advantage of the mountains to break through the Ming army's array and kill Zhu Di's 500,000-strong army.】
【This is really the best method that Mahamu can think of. Strengthen the wall and clear the field, lure the enemy deep, stay high and defeat him in one fell swoop.】
【In Mahamu's view, Zhu Di has taken the bait, and the Ming army is already in Zhu Di's pocket! Soon, he will become the new leader of Mongolia!】
【But it is a pity that Mahamu underestimated Zhu Di after all. You must know that the battle of Jingnan was so dangerous, but Zhu Di survived it. This time, it was just childish for him.】
【On the seventh day of the sixth lunar month, Zhu Di led his army of 500,000 people to Hulanhu, and arrived at the battlefield arranged for him by Mahamu.】
【After looking at the surrounding environment, Zhu Di couldn't help but take a breath of air. It was exactly as he imagined. The mountains here are steep and steep, making it the best choice for an ambush.】
【But no matter what, this is the place for the decisive battle, let everything end here】
【When the mighty Ming army came to Mahamu, he was trembling with excitement and extremely excited. The one hundred thousand troops behind him only waited for his order to go down the mountain and kill Zhu Di on his horse. and completely defeated the Ming army.】
【Only one step away from success】
【After carefully observing the formation of the Ming army, Mahamu discovered that the Ming army was not led by elite cavalry, but by some strange infantry without leather armor. This is simply God helping me.】
【At this moment, Mahamu was already sure of victory, and he immediately issued the order for a general attack!】
【Thirty thousand cavalry rushed down from the mountain and pounced on the Ming army at the foot of the mountain with the force of tigers. The sound of killing filled the field, and the neighing of the horses shook the heaven and the earth.】
【Mahamu proudly commanded his army on the mountain, waiting for the sight of the Oara cavalry overwhelming the Ming army in one fell swoop.】
【However, shortly after the Wara cavalry launched their charge, the situation in this seemingly one-sided battle suddenly changed unexpectedly!】
【When they discovered that the Wala army was attacking, the Ming army's formation underwent strange changes. The infantry at the front of the original team quickly retreated from the center to the wings. A troop immediately poured out from the rear of the Chinese army to fill the gap】
【This unit is different from the cavalry and infantry in the Ming army. What they hold in their hands is not sabers or swords, but firecrackers.】
【After quickly arranging their formation, the soldiers aimed their muskets at the approaching Oara cavalry. They were waiting (cadh) for commander Liu Sheng's order.】
【When the Wala cavalry got closer and closer, Mahamu on the mountain felt his blood solidify for a moment. He was not an ignorant person. After seeing the whole picture of the army, he yelled crazily at his soldiers: God Machine camp!! Go back!】
【But it was already late. Just as he had imagined before, the cavalry rushing down from the mountain were like mercury pouring down the ground. They were moving forward with no way to take them back.】
【At the same time, the Chinese army commander Liu Sheng gave an order and fired thousands of guns. The charging Oala cavalry never expected such a sudden blow, and they fell to the ground injured one after another, causing heavy losses.】
【In an instant, the battlefield was filled with gunpowder smoke, and the Ora cavalrymen fell on their backs. It was extremely tragic.】
【When the battle reached this point, it was already too late to retreat. The remaining Oara cavalry simply took advantage of this opportunity and fought desperately against the Ming army.】
【In their opinion, after firing, the gunpowder needs to be loaded with gunpowder, and this time is enough for them to crush all these people.】
【However, at this time, unexpected situations occurred on the battlefield.】
【The Oara army was about to rush into the Ming army's camp. At this moment, the Ming army began its second formation change!】
【After the Shenji Battalion launched a volley, there was no rush to reload gunpowder. On the contrary, they put away their gunpowder and began to retreat quickly to both wings of the formation in an orderly manner. The Ming Army's cavalry immediately rushed out from the rear.】
【The Ming army's cavalry was divided into three groups. The left group was commanded by Li Bin and Tan Qing, the right group was commanded by Wang Tong, and the center group was personally commanded by Zhu Di.】
【Under the unified command of Zhu Di, the left and right wings of the Ming army launched flank attacks on the Oara cavalry. Zhu Di was even more brave. He once again led the army into the enemy's formation, wielding his saber to kill the Oara cavalry, and started a fierce battle with the enemy.】
【Inspired by Zhu Di's personal charge, the Ming army fought bravely and risked their lives to kill the enemy. However, at this moment, the Oala cavalry had been disrupted in formation and no longer had the same momentum as before.】
【The Oara army was attacked from three sides at the same time, and was beaten everywhere. The seemingly vulnerable sheep suddenly turned into wolves. All of this put the Oara army into an extreme dilemma, and tens of thousands of troops were destroyed.】
【Mahamu saw that the trap he had laid so hard was easily broken by Zhu Di. Seeing that the situation was not good, he turned around and ran away. The Wala army, which was already in disarray, also turned around and fled.】
【In the battle between Hulan and Suwen, Zhu Di won another great victory. In this battle, more than 10,000 people of the Wala army were killed, and dozens of his princes were killed. Zhu Di even ordered people to pursue Mahamu for hundreds of miles, only to To kill them all】
【Seeing that Zhu Di insisted on killing him, Mahamu mustered up his courage, integrated the army, and fought against the Ming army again, but he played into Zhu Di's hands.】
【Zhu Di led his army to charge in person. The Ming army was unstoppable and broke through the Oala army formation in one fell swoop. Mahamu could only continue to escape.】
【Mahamu continued to run, and the Ming army continued to pursue him, until he reached the Tula River. Seeing that Mahamu could not escape, he asked Taiping and Boluo to take the rear, and escaped alone.】
【In this battle, the Ming army completely defeated the main force of the Oara army. In the following decades, the Oara army never dared to provoke the Ming army again. Zhu Di's battle brought ten years of peace to the Ming Dynasty.】
【At this moment, the Ming army's tactics are very advanced. To put it bluntly, the Ming army's tactics are hundreds of years ahead of the world today. Looking at the world, no army can even compare to them.】
【During the time of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty had very outstanding cavalry generals such as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and Li Wenzhong. These people were unparalleled in using cavalry in combat. Even the Mongols who started their career with cavalry were beaten to a pulp by them.】
【The cavalry tactics were also continued by Zhu Di. The cavalry led by Zhu Di was also second to none at the time. But what is even more frightening is that the Ming army not only has cavalry that dominates the world, but also has another special skill, which is firearms.】
【During the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's army began to use firearms on a large scale, including artillery and firecrackers. In response to Xu Da and others who were good at using cavalry, Zhu Yuanzhang also had a large number of generals who were good at using firearms in combat.】
【Especially Deng Yu and Mu Ying. In the Battle of Hongdu, Deng Yu's men once used firearms to severely damage Chen Youliang's army. However, in Zhu Yuanzhang's era, it was not he who reached the pinnacle of the use of firearm tactics. Mu Ying】
【During the Hongwu period, when generals were shining brightly, Mu Ying was not as dazzling as Xu Da and others, but he was also a very good general.】
【In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Mu Ying to guard Yunnan, and it was here that Mu Ying created his unique firearms warfare method.】
【At that time, Yunnan was still a barbaric land with many ethnic minorities who often rebelled. There were few plains in Yunnan, and cavalry was of little use. Most military operations relied on infantry, and the ethnic minorities were good at domesticating elephants. With elephants, It is extremely difficult for the Ming army to deal with these ethnic minorities.】
【But Mu Ying found a weapon to defeat the elephant, that is, firearms】
【Fireguns and artillery are not only effective against elephants, but the sound they make when fired can also act as a deterrent.】
【After countless failures and thinking, Mu Ying created an advanced firearms strategy that was powerful enough to restrain elephants. This strategy was called the three-stage strategy.】
【Mu Ying arranged the fire cannon soldiers into three rows. After discovering that the enemy elephant soldiers were advancing, the first row fired the fire cannons first, then the second row and the third row continued to fire. When the second and third rows fired, the first row could calmly fire. Load the bullets to form a complete and continuous powerful firepower】
【Launching the fire cannon in a three-stage manner can make up for the shortcoming that the fire cannon cannot be fired with filled ammunition, thereby ensuring continuous fire suppression. 】
Ming Dynasty, Yongle period
"Dad, this three-stage shooting mentioned by Tiandao can definitely be applied in our Shenji Camp!!"
Zhu Gaoxu was very excited after seeing Mu Ying's triple shot. He pointed in the air and said:
"If it is true as Tiandao said, then our Ming army will truly be invincible!!".......The dividing line..
