Chapter 1396 faint move

The so-called pass is a relatively low position between the mountains, like a hole being opened, but this does not mean that the pass is narrow. Some passes can even be several miles wide or even dozens of miles away. Unfortunately, the Bren Pass is also a relatively wide pass that can accommodate hundreds of horses charging side by side.

Young general Li Guangqi led his troops to Bren Pass yesterday. Before he could manage it, the pass was basically without any fortifications, and even the camp was only built.

The sound of horse hooves was like thunder. The first wave of Persian cavalry rushed to the half slope below the mountain pass without any obstacles. The sound of bean-like gunshots rang out. The Ming army on the mountain pass finally pulled the flintlock rifle's plate machine, and the lead bullets mixed with sharp arrows poured down from the high place. The Persian cavalry in the front row were the first to bear the brunt, falling down like harvesting wheat, and the remaining unowned war horses were scattered.

There are not many musketeers under Li Guangqi, only two hundred people, but they are better off because of their well-trainedness. They are divided into three rows of shooting, which is the classic three-stage attack. After the front row is shot, the second row is replaced immediately, and after the second row is shot, the first row has reloaded its ammunition, so it can ensure continuous shooting without interruption.

Bang bang bang bang...

Gunshots came one after another, and the bullets were like rain. The Persian cavalry launched six consecutive charges, and were eventually repelled by the Ming army. Only hundreds of corpses were left on the mountain waves. Looking around, there were corpses everywhere.

Seeing that he could not rush to the mountain pass, he suffered heavy casualties, and the morale of the soldiers was obviously declining, he couldn't help but be shocked and anxious. So he pulled out his scimitar and slapped forward and shouted loudly: "The first warrior to rush to the mountain pass will be rewarded with 300 gold, twenty slaves, and two levels of official promotion, and those who retreat will be killed without mercy!"

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. The Persian cavalry, whose morale was already low, immediately rushed to the mountain pass like a chicken blood. The cavalry in the front row used shields as cover, while the cavalry in the back row bent their bows and arrows, and the arrows shot towards the top of the mountain. The Ming army on the mountain pass suddenly felt that the pressure increased greatly.

"Where did this cavalry come from? The combat power is pretty good and the equipment is very good. However, they don't even attack the flag. There is someone behind them carrying a sedan chair. What's wrong with it?" Li Guangqi put down his telescope and muttered in a low voice.

At this time, the Persian cavalry in the front row had already rushed through the half-ridge and approached the top of the mountain. The bullets of the flintlock rifle hit their tight iron shields, causing sparks to splash.

"Warriors, rush, you'll reach the top of the mountain immediately. Rush up and kill them all, and the victory belongs to us." The centurion in charge of leading the team raised his arms and shouted, and his saliva flew around.

At this time, Prince Babur, who was watching the battle at the bottom of the ridge, also showed a relaxed smile. In his opinion, the Ming army only had the advantage of the terrain, and at the same time, he had temporarily gained the upper hand with the sharp firearm. Once his Persian cavalry rushed to the top of the ridge to launch a close-up battle, the Ming army's advantage would be gone, and he would win by himself with three thousand and one thousand.

However, the Ming army at the Yamaguchi obviously did not think so. Seeing the Persian cavalry in the front row rushing closer and closer with their shields, they not only did not hurry, but instead showed a joking grin, and then threw down hundreds of smoke-filled iron lumps.

Boom boom boom boom...

These deadly things rolled under the hooves of the Persian cavalry, and then exploded violently. The war horses were blown off their legs and their belly was broken on the spot. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and they fell down one after another with sadness. The cavalry on the horses were naturally also affected. They were either thrown to death or trampled to death or shot to death by the Ming army's muskets and arrows. The scene was very tragic.

Soon, the Persian cavalry's fierce charge was repelled by the Ming army again. This time, hundreds of corpses were left behind, which was even heavier than the previous few times.

Looking at the Persian cavalry who retreated in a mess, Bapur and Us looked extremely ugly, and their eyes were constantly pounding.

"Your Highness, the Ming army's firearms are so powerful, and they have occupied the geographical advantage, so it is worse than..."

Babur turned his head and stared at Us fiercely, his eyes as if he wanted to choose someone to eat. Before Us finished speaking, he was so scared that he quickly shut up. Babur asked coldly: "What's worse?"

"It's better to... it's better to take a detour!" Us's voice was a little dry.

When Babur heard this, he looked a little relaxed and asked coldly: "Where to go around? Go north to Dayuzi, or go south to Mughal?"

Us was speechless because it was not realistic whether it was going north or south. First, the journey was too far, and second, it was not clear at all. I guess I could not return to Persia in the Year of the Ox and the Horse Month.

Babur gritted his teeth and said, "Our troops are three times that of the enemy. I don't believe that I can't take down this Bren Pass, and pass on the orders to abandon the horse and sprint the mountain."

Us wanted to remind Babur that almost four hundred people had died in the attack just now, and more injured people were injured. If you continue to fight, at least half of them would have to die even if you can win. However, Babur obviously would not listen to advice, so Us could only grit his teeth and pass the orders to fight in the stomping battle.

Cavalry has the advantage of cavalry, and infantry also has the advantages of infantry. Attacking the mountain pass naturally makes infantry better. However, Babur ignored one thing. The Ming army guarding the Bren Pass was also cavalry, and it was all cavalry. Babur actually wanted to attack the condescending cavalry with infantry, which obviously made a fool of himself in desperation.

Therefore, when the young general Li Guangqi discovered that the enemy troops at the ridge had abandoned the horse and attacked, he couldn't help laughing out the sound of a pig.

"Master Qianhu, this enemy general is not a fool, either he just looks down on our horses." A hundred-husband beside him joked with a smile.

Li Guangqi smiled and said, "No matter what, let them attack. We will fight like we did just now. When the heat is almost done, let them compensate our fast marijuana."

"Okay, brothers, please make your moves brightly, aim at it, don't be idle for the credit you deliver to your door." Baihu shouted loudly.

The brothers agreed.

At this time, the enemy troops at the ridge had formed a formation and were approaching the top of the ridge step by step. It has to be said that this kind of mountain battle with upside down is obviously more effective than cavalry. On the one hand, it has a tighter defense, and on the other hand, it can invest more troops in coordinated combat.

Bang bang bang bang...

The gunshots rang out, and the fierce battle started again. The two sides were in a stalemate for more than half an hour. The Persians gradually advanced towards the mountain pass with their superior strength and obviously began to gain the upper hand. It seemed that it would be only a matter of time before they could attack the mountain pass.

Babur waved his fist and said proudly: "Look, I know that infantry battles are more effective. We should abandon the horse and sprint from the beginning."

Us also said happily: "His prince is wise and has strict defenses in infantry battles. The soldiers crawled up, greatly weakening the lethality of Ming munitions."

As soon as the words were finished, a violent explosion sounded. It turned out that the Ming army threw out the kind of explosive grenade that could explode again, causing sand and stones to fly on the mountains, but the effect was obviously worse than thrown into the horses. Most of the Persian soldiers lay on the ground to avoid the explosion of the grenade and then continued to attack the mountain.

"The Ming army's skills are exhausted!" Babur sneered sneering.

Seeing that the vanguard was about to rush to the top of the ridge to contact the Ming army, Us couldn't help but wave his fists excitedly.

"Hehe, the show is about to begin."

Li Guangqifei flew on his horse and shouted: "It's time to get on the horse, it's time to give it a handful of idiots at the foot of the mountain."

The Ming army jumped onto the horse's backs, and their shiny waists were unsheathed, and the stern light made the sun cold.

"Kill!" Li Guangqi shouted violently, slapped his horse's butt with his waist knife, and took the lead and rushed down the hill. In an instant, the sound of horse's hooves exploded, rolling up dust.

The Persian soldiers who were rushing up were immediately frightened and were terrified. You must know that the power of the cavalry rushing down from a high place was so terrible, like a tide of overwhelming seas and unstoppable.

Snap...

Li Guangqi took the lead, and just stretched out his waist and gently tied it. He used horse speed to split a Persian soldier and his shield into two pieces, which was no different from chopping melons and vegetables.

Scroll...

Nearly thousand Ming cavalry rushed down from the mountain pass, and the sword light passed by, like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. The Persian infantry that had just been spread all over the ridge was "harvested" at a speed visible to the naked eye, but saw flesh and blood flying across the mountain and rolling heads.

The Persian cavalry at the foot of the mountain were so scared that they threw away their weapons and turned around and ran away, hating their parents for not having two legs, and some of them were close to their mounts, and they rushed on their backs and ran away in a mess.

Only then did Babur and Us realize that they had made a big mistake and quickly mobilized the cavalry to resist. Unfortunately, it was too late. The Ming cavalry who rushed down from the mountain waves had already increased their speed to the extreme. The horse was fast and the knife was sharp. What could the Persian cavalry that he was urging to deal with? With one stroke, they were washed away and defeated.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Babur turned his horse's head and ran away, because he might even lose his life if he didn't slip. Seeing this, the porters who were responsible for carrying the sedan chair threw the sedan chair away, and ran away as if they were flying.

When Yuzi's sedan chair turned around, Wang Cuiqiao's master and servant also rolled out from inside. Babul turned around and saw it. He couldn't help but curse. He ordered the two personal soldiers to turn around and lift Wang Cuiqiao's master and servant, and then fled in panic.

"Hey, Lord Qianhu, look at it. There seem to be two women in the sedan chair. I guess they were kidnapped from where they were tied up." A Ming army said loudly.

Li Guangqi saw it just now, and couldn't help but feel moved in his heart and shouted loudly: "Chasing, it must be a big fish."

Li Guangqi led the cavalry to chase after him, but he chased for more than 30 miles in one breath but failed to catch up. Finally, he had to order the pursuit to stop, return to Bren Pass and continue to garrison, and sent people back to Kashgar to report the matter to Liu Xian.
