The Goryeo cavalry had already rushed to the front of the Ming army's formation.
When the cavalry charges, there is the power of thunder, and the heaven and earth tremble. It seems to be invincible, and everything the horse's hooves pass is turned into powder (ji ).
But the infantry of the Ming Dynasty, from the day they carried the sun and moon flag, were born to fight against the cavalry. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army went northward, and fought dozens of deadly battles with the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry. To unify the world, the Ming army penetrated into Mobei thirteen times.
During the battle of the expedition, the Ming army had already developed a body of steel and iron under the impact of the cavalry.
Compared with the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry, the Goryeo people had the most fatal weakness. Although Goryeo was rich in war horses, their cavalry soldiers were mixed. Breeding war horses was a national act, not an individual act of the people.
The Goryeo people are good at shooting, but most of their cavalry are not good at mounted shooting. The Goryeo cavalry, which has always been advertised as heavy cavalry, lacks real heavy equipment.
In short, before the war started, they posed a statistical threat to the Ming army. But after the war started, they were completely different.
With a crackle, a continuous crackle of spears, the leading Koryo cavalry ran into the Ming army's spear formation. The horses howled, and the knights screamed.
The infantry position of the Ming Army seems to have several huge gaps, but in fact this is a consistent strategy of the Ming Army. When fighting the cavalry, they will deliberately expose the gaps to allow the cavalry to rush in and slow down their speed.
, causing them to fall into the quagmire of infantry and lose their high-speed mobility.
The Ming army's formation was square on the outside and round on the inside.
The vanguard of the Qiangoryeo cavalry plunged directly into the flank of the Ming army, using their horses and lives to break out a bloody path.
However, the Goryeo cavalry who rushed into the Ming army's position were horrified to find that the enemy did not turn around and run away, leaving their backs to them. After they rushed in, before they could wave their sabers a few times, they were attacked by hook guns from all directions.
, hit by the long-handled axe.

"Hook the horse's leg!"
The soldiers of the Ming army shouted, and the charging Goryeo war horses had their legs cut off by hook guns. The knights on the horses flew into the crowd of the Ming army and had their heads smashed by hammers.
However, the number of more than a thousand cavalry was too large. If they were to rush in continuously, the Ming army's position would definitely collapse.
So at the moment when the two sides were fighting head-on, the phalanx on the right wing of the Ming army began to quickly move towards the Goryeo cavalry troops. The bows and artillery continued to cover the rear of the Goryeo cavalry with firepower.
It seemed that the Ming army planned to use their numerical advantage to entangle the Goryeo cavalry who were about to lose their mobility. But at the moment they took action, a gap appeared in the originally tight Ming army's position.
"Park Changfu! Lead people and rush over!"
The opportunity was right in front of him, and it was fleeting. Li Fangyuan loudly ordered, "Charge into the gap between the Ming army!"
In the blink of an eye, the second wave of attacking Goryeo cavalry pounced directly into the gap in the Ming army's position from the other direction.
Li Fangyuan's judgment was correct. If the second wave of thousands of people rushed in regardless of casualties, the Ming army's position would be divided into several pieces. By then, they would not be able to look at each other, and would inevitably fall into panic.
"Ha!" Zhu Yunxi, the Ming army commander, looked at the swarming Goryeo cavalry and sneered again, "You really won't turn back until you hit the south wall. That's so fucking hard!" He said, waving his hand, "Want to die?
Fulfill them!"
Lan Yu, who was standing aside, silently tightened the jade belt around his waist. Then with a straight face, he rode directly to the front of the army.
"Hundred steps!"
"Five hundred steps!"
"Four hundred steps!"
The soldiers on the lookout were shouting desperately from the watchtower. The expressions on the faces of the Ming soldiers on the ground were exactly the same as those of Lan Yu, who was commanding the troops before the battle. They all looked like they were used to big scenes.
"Three hundred steps!"
At this moment, Lan Yu suddenly shouted on the horse, "Let go!"
Wuwu, a strange sound suddenly sounded between heaven and earth, like the scream of a legendary ghost. It was extremely sharp and particularly harsh.
I saw the Ming army's position, consisting of hundreds of tubes, square gun carriages, ferocious rockets carrying choking white smoke, rushing directly towards the swarming Koryo cavalry.
Those burning rockets moved irregularly in the air like snakes. When the fuses on their tails disappeared, they suddenly exploded in the air.
The charging Goryeo cavalry were horrified when faced with the sudden secret weapon of the Ming army. However, the next second they discovered that these rockets seemed to be menacing, but in fact they were far less lethal than bows, arrows and artillery.
But at this moment, they were even more horrified to find that the horses under their crotches were restless.
The war horses were most afraid of noise, and they were most afraid of this kind of sharp sound that they had never heard before. The charging Goryeo cavalry formation suddenly became a little panicked.
At this moment, in the Ming army's position, the spears that should have been erected on the ground suddenly moved. The Ming army in the front row separated a road, and countless carts with sharp barbs were pushed out.
Their Ming army actually came towards the charging Goryeo cavalry.
Thousands of Ming troops pushed carts forward in the opposite direction, and a continuous rain of arrows, rockets, and firecrackers swept in from behind like a river flowing backward.
The knight controlled the frightened horse, trying to avoid the sudden appearance of the carts in front of the Ming army's formation, and had no choice but to slow down.
In the Ming army's position, more than a thousand gunmen fired continuously at the front.
Smoke of gunpowder spreads everywhere.
The fire light kept flashing.
Blood has become a river.
However, the death order of the Goryeo cavalry was to rush in regardless of casualties.
Therefore, the Koryo cavalry, whose light cavalry was used as heavy cavalry, finally broke into the Ming army's position after suffering many casualties.
But when they rushed in, they were horrified to find that what they rushed in was a trap.
The Ming army's position was a huge hollow formation, with trenches dug in advance and spiraling layer by layer everywhere, with bamboo sticks and wooden thorns inserted in them.
"ah!"
After a series of desperate screams from the Koreans, countless cavalrymen and horses fell into the ditch. It was like a bamboo stick with many large pieces of meat stuck in it.
At the same time, at the moment when the Korean cavalry rushed in, Lan Yu changed his formation again.
The rear army, those cavalry who had been warming up, suddenly roared out from the flank and directly impacted the second wave of Korean cavalry, directly breaking them in half.
The cavalry went back and forth and became entangled. The Ming army's infantry directly overwhelmed the Goryeo cavalry that rushed in.
Among the crowd, the long-handled axes were raised high and fell hard. The Ming army's crossbowmen abandoned their weapons, drew out the short ones, and began to fight at close range.
Not only the Ming army, but also the most elite soldiers of the original dynasty throughout the ages were these armored crossbowmen.
Starting from the prosperous Tang Dynasty, in every battle formation, archers and crossbowmen lined up in front of the formation. After shooting arrows before the formation, they would draw their swords and move forward.
If you look down from the sky, the soldiers of the Ming army have turned into a tide and swallowed up the Goryeo cavalry.
Lan Yu stood on his horse and looked back at the golden dragon banner of the army, at Zhu Yunxi under the golden dragon and yellow umbrella, and recalled what Zhu Yunxi said to him last night.
"You are a pawn of the Ming Dynasty. If you sit back and watch this battle, you will definitely leave regrets."
"I promise you the right to command when the battle comes, and go ahead and fight. If there are criticisms from the court or slight remarks from the emperor, I will bear the responsibility alone!"
"Your Highness!"
Lan Yu murmured to herself, with tears in her eyes.
He, Lan Yu, would rather die in battle than be a useless old man plowing the fields at home! Your Highness is the only one in the world who knows his heart and understands what he thinks. Only Your Highness, you still regard him, Lan Yu, as a scholar of the Ming Dynasty.
With a swish of a dragon's roar, Lan Yu pulled out the sword from her waist.
"All soldiers, follow me and surround us!"
"Da Ming! Wan Sheng!"
Suddenly, the cry started again. Here, the 20,000 infantrymen of the Ming Army, following the direction of the commander, actually launched a countercharge directly against the Goryeo cavalry who were entangled by the Ming Army.
"Kill!"
The shouts of killing stirred up the world. The Ming army was like a tide, and the Goryeo army was like pebbles. The sun and moon battle flags were flying high. When this big flag was erected in the east of Liaoning Province in the Ming Dynasty, in the northwest of the enemy country, and in the original due north, these men of the Ming Dynasty shouted
Same slogan.
When facing Beiyuan, Tubo, and other barbarians, these Ming men did the same thing.
The Ming army was never afraid of cavalry, it was just afraid that there were too few enemies to kill them!
~~
However, the enemies of the Ming army had never seen the methods of the Ming army. As Li Jinglong said, the ignorant are fearless.
When Lan Yu led the infantry to countercharge, Li Fangyuan was overjoyed.
"The Ming army is empty!"
At this moment, he was like a red-eyed gambler who had caught a good hand of cards, shouting in ecstasy.
Zhu Yunxi only led more than 50,000 infantry to stop him. The first wave of cavalry was fighting bloody battles on the right wing. Lan Yu led the second wave to counterattack and surround them. There were only 10,000 people around Zhu Yunxi.
Tens of thousands of infantry had no chance of winning against Li Fangyuan's nearly a thousand cavalry. As long as the Goryeo cavalry rushed over, the Ming army would be defeated.
When the golden dragon flag falls, Ming troops will be fleeing all over the mountains and plains. What the Goryeo warriors have to do is to open their backs and cut their throats with their sabers.
As if anticipating that scene and smelling the blood of the Ming army, Li Fangyuan went crazy.
"Warriors of Goryeo, today is the day to defeat the country! All armies, follow me and kill Zhu Yunxi alive!"
Li Fangyuan roared crazily on his horse, as if he was crazy.
However, just as he finished speaking, the war horse under his crotch suddenly began to look around uneasily in fear. At the same time, he also felt that the grass and vegetation on the ground began to tremble as if they were trembling.
"Your Majesty! Ming Cavalry!"
The deputy general shouted hysterically, and on Li Fangyuan's flank, countless Ming cavalry rushed over like a pack of wolves.
In the lead, a large flag with the word "Yan" flying high.
The burly knight on horseback raised his right hand and said, "God bless you!"
Behind, the dragon-like knight raised his sword and shouted, "Da Ming!"
"God bless the Ming Dynasty!"
"Kill the barbarians!"
