In order to eliminate the sudden emergence of the Ming army's troops, Dayan Khan Batumonk dispatched up to 50,000 troops, mainly elite Mongolian cavalry, with astonishing mobility and combat effectiveness.

The Ming army was personally led by Chen Xi, combining infantry and cavalry, but mainly infantry. Because of the support of cannons, muskets and crossbows, Chen Xi was not at a disadvantage in the fierce confrontation that lasted for more than two hours. The two sides were coming and going, and the war gradually developed to a white-hot stage.

Under such a critical situation, the Ming defenders on the city had no intention of leaving the city to help. Watching the fire from the other side of the river seemed to have nothing to do with them.

Zhu Houzhao asked the surrounding generals to send troops but failed, so he had to say to Xie Qian with a bitter face: "Mr. Xie, please go back to the palace and ask your father for an order, and let him decide!"

Xie Qian looked at Li Dongyang angrily, Zhang Mao and Zhang's relatives looked at him, and hesitated whether to enter the palace to ask for an imperial edict.

Although he knew it was difficult to get the permission of Emperor Hongzhi, he thought that Chen Xi was almost in a Jedi outside the city, and that if he did not send troops in the city, he would probably be exhausted by the Tartars, so Xie Qian could only go to try it... Even if Li Dongyang and Zhang Mao objected, he would have to go there.

Xie Qian said: "The old minister received the order!"

After saying that, Xie Qian didn't care about continuing to observe the battle situation outside the city, nor was he going to ride a carriage or sedan chair. Instead, he rode a tall horse with the help of the guards, and slowly walked down the city along the horse path, and then galloped towards the Daming Gate... This is a good way to get reinforcements for Chen Xi as soon as possible.

At this time, during the war outside the city, the central army in Chenxi was still as safe as Mount Tai.

Chen Xi was calm and stood on the watchtower drawn from Juyongguan, surrounded by shield soldiers. He held the order flag and kept uttering various flags. No soldier needed to understand the meaning of his flag. As long as the commander of each infantry phalanx understood it, they would use the whistle to command the advance and retreat of the teams under his command...

When you go back and forth, the Tartars rushed forward but failed to succeed. The losses increased and their morale gradually declined.

Suddenly, the sound of war drums in the Ming army's central army formation sounded violently, and the surrounding five infantry phalanxes changed their formation again when they heard the sound, retreated to surround the central army, and then used cavalry as the main attack force.

Wang Lingzhi personally led 500 cavalry to become the main force of the charge. Under the cover of the artillery located in the central army, he launched a fierce attack on the Tatar cavalry in the depths.

Because the Ming army had been in a defensive position before, fighting and retreating, and had not launched a decent offensive. After Wang Lingzhi led his troops to charge, the Tartar coach Su Suha did not react in a short time. When he found that the attack was not the troops attacking from both wings, but his own central army, it was too late to mobilize troops to return to the aid.

The gunners in the Chenxi army have been rigorously trained and taught by Shen Xi step by step. After the test of the Tumu Fort war, they have extremely rich artillery experience.

These gunners understand how to ensure the safety of their cavalry when the Ming cavalry takes the initiative. Although the artillery has been firing at the "own people", the artillery will bypass the heads of the Ming cavalry according to the elevation angle and land accurately into the depth and wing areas, making the Tatar reinforcements unable to succeed.

"Boom boom boom!"

As the artillery fired, shells fell like meteors, and wherever they went, the Taurus cavalry turned over and fell off their horses. Although the artillery could not completely suppress the Tartar reinforcements, due to the continuous explosion of war horses, they rushed left and right in panic, completely losing control. The number of cavalrymen who really reinforced the middle lane was not very large.

Wang Lingzhi led his troops forward, and after slashing and slashing, he immediately withdrew his troops. Then the next round of shells fell down like raindrops again, allowing the Tatar cavalry who launched the counterattack to feel what the flame hell is.

Although the final lethality caused by artillery was extremely limited, the morale loss for the Tatar cavalry was unparalleled, and they were deeply confused... Why were the Ming cavalry so good when we were here just now, and we were separated by the Ming cavalry from the artillery, but the Ming cavalry turned around and we just caught up with a few steps when we were hit by the shells falling from the sky?

Could it be that the other party's shell has eyes?

Due to the continuous suppression of artillery, the Tatars did not dare to chase them fiercely. This made Wang Lingzhi, after rushing for one round, causing less than a hundred people to kill the Tatars, he would accumulate strength to prepare for the second round of impact again. Everything depends on the speed of the war drum in the central army. Once the war drum accelerates, it means that the next round of impact will be launched.

Chen Xi did not interfere with the direction Wang Lingzhi rushed from, because there would be many changes on the spot during the specific battle, and even Chen Xi could not issue more specific orders to Wang Lingzhi accurately.

The instructions given by Chen Xi were to let Wang Lingzhi see the weak links of the Tatars' defense and attack. The artillery would cover the direction he rushed in, which was equivalent to everything in cooperation with Wang Lingzhi's actions.

Although the individual cavalry of the Ming Dynasty was not as good as the Tatars, they were not inferior to the Tatars as a whole, which made the Tatars who were highly regarded as such suffered a lot.

The Tartars always believed that the Ming army was only good at defending with the turtle and turtle. Even though they had fought with the cavalry of the Ming border army before and had never been at a disadvantage, this time they finally realized the power of the real Ming cavalry and found that their opponents were far beyond their understanding.

"Kill!"

In the eyes of the Tatars, Wang Lingzhi seemed to be a god of killing.

Wang Lingzhi was wearing heavy armor, holding his usual long sword in one hand and holding the reins in the other hand. He rushed forward all the way. He basically had no Tatars under his command to support two moves. He basically raised his sword and fell, and the enemy formation was as if nothing had entered. In a blink of an eye, more than ten cavalry died under his sword. Later, the Ming cavalry came one after another. The two sides fought for a short round. Wang Lingzhi turned around and withdrew. The Tatars mustered up the courage to pursue him, and were covered by the Ming army artillery again in a blink of an eye.

Even though the Tatars shot out bows and arrows in anger, they soon discovered that these Ming cavalry responsible for attacking the front were protected by heavy armor, which had a good resistance to ordinary bows and arrows.

...

...

"Okay, kill well!"

Zhu Houzhao asked Xie Qian to return to the palace to ask Zhu Youzhang to send troops to attack and cooperate with the reinforcements outside the city. He was so excited about his eyes on the top of the city.

Chen Xi used the offensive and defensive tactics in a superb way, and finally he set up a temporary camp and sent cavalry to attack one after another, causing the Tatars to surround a tight formation that looked like a moving fortress, and could not get close to them.

In this way, both cavalry and infantry can get a good rest. When the cavalry is tired, the Ming army's infantry phalanx can show its power again, and there is no worry that it will be dragged down by the Tartars' successive attacks.

"Mr. Chen, you have to hold on! After this battle, you will definitely become famous. See who else in the court doesn't believe you and my master and apprentice!"

Zhu Houzhao clenched her fists and was very excited.

Grand Secretary Li Dongyang looked at Zhu Houzhao, and he wanted to speak out a few sarcastic words... Who is the one who commanded the troops outside, because no one has seen clearly the banner of reinforcements at this moment, and just randomly guessed that this person was Chen Xi, but that was Zhu Houzhao's wishful thinking.

Li Dongyang never believed that a young boy could be so magical. He not only could enter the Hanlin Academy after three years of age, but now he is a second-rank official under the age of eighteen, but also has such profound attainments in military strategy and command in front of the battlefield.

Zhang Mao became more and more surprised as he looked at it. Finally, he said with emotion: "The execution ability of the border army is indeed extraordinary. If it were the Beijing soldiers, it would be difficult to implement such complex and changeable tactics. And every soldier dared to fight and fight against a strong enemy and did not retreat. This is my true invincible army in the Ming Dynasty!"

Because Zhang Mao knew too much about the Beijing camp, he didn't believe that the soldiers outside were weak Beijing camp soldiers. But in fact, the main force of the Chenxi Central Army was the Beijing camp soldiers that Zhang Mao could not afford.
