The troops and horses mobilized by the Ming Dynasty from Liaodong to block the retreat of the Mongolian army are in place!
It is not accurate to say that troops were mobilized from Liaodong!
The soldiers and horses blocking the retreat of the Mongolian army were actually dispatched from the Liaoxi Corridor.
The military order issued by the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army was for the soldiers and horses in the Liaoxi Corridor to attack the Mongolian army's rear path, and the soldiers and horses from Liaodong took over the defense of the Liaoxi Corridor.
To put it bluntly, it means trying our best to get the army in place quickly!
Complete the encirclement of the Mongols who invaded Zhangjiakou!
Zhu Hongyu did not think carefully in the imperial study at the beginning. It is normal that there are some loopholes in the plan that was roughly drawn up in a hurry.

Fortunately, the staff department made up for it after a discussion.
When Burni heard this, his vision went dark and he almost fell off his horse.
Both Luobuzang and Gabur were defeated, and the Ming army's elite cavalry surrounded them and cut off their retreat. Burni really felt what despair was.
This is such a rhythm to finish off the calf!
"Quickly, send the order to the army, shrink your troops and prepare to break out!"
When the war situation deteriorated, Burni finally realized that there would be no more surprises in the Zhangjiakou battle!
…
As Burni's military order was issued, the Mongolian army began to shrink its forces and prepare for a breakout.
The Mongolian army attacking Zhangjiakou receded like the tide!
The defeated Mongolian troops in the southwest and southeast directions also merged into the formation.
Burney galloped forward and led the team to break out of the encirclement in the northwest direction.
At this time, Ming army reinforcements from the southeast and southwest had already entered the battlefield.
Coming towards the Mongolian army’s formation!
The ground trampled by the hoofs of the war horses roared endlessly.
The elite cavalry of the Ming army formed an array and came towards the Mongolian army.
The two Ming armies in the southeast and southwest were like two giant pincers stretched out by a crab, mercilessly pinching the Mongolian army in the middle, as if they wanted to completely crush the Mongolian army.
The red armor gathered together, and when the cavalry charged, it surged like a wave!
The earth seemed to be trembling under the trampling of horse hooves.
Ohh Ohh ohh!
The low and powerful horn sound resounded throughout the battlefield, and the Ming army quickly changed from a marching array to a charging array.
The speed at which the military formation was transformed during the march shocked everyone!
At the very least, Burni was so shocked that his mouth opened wide.
The formation of the Ming army changed so quickly, silky, smooth, and fast without any stagnation. It was simply terrifying.
The level of training and organization of such an army is simply incredible!
I'm afraid even the Mongolian cavalry led by Genghis Khan couldn't do it.
"kill!"
"Trapped!"
"..."
The Ming army used wall cavalry tactics to advance neatly and ran straight into the Mongolian army's array.
Sharp spears formed a forest of spears, killing any enemy who stood in front of them!
Before the cavalry from both sides formally joined the formation, waves of arrows had already risen into the sky and shot towards the Mongolian army's formation.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The rain of arrows fell densely, taking away lives one by one with ease.
Shoot the Mongols off their horses one by one!
The next moment, the Ming army's spears roared in!
The fine cavalry of the Ming army rushed in from the southeast and southwest at the same time. The horses trampled the ground and roared.
The moment the two sides came into contact, the Mongolian army array was immediately dispersed!
A large number of Mongolian cavalry were driven away by the Ming army.
It was the Mongolian army that clearly had the advantage in strength, but it was also the Mongolian army that retreated as soon as the two sides came into contact.
The Mongols today are really useless!
In other words, the Mongols have long since become useless!
When the slaves conquered the grasslands, the casualty ratio was simply unbelievable!
The record that Jiannu achieved on the grasslands was even more exaggerated than the record that Jiannu achieved when he entered the pass and faced the Ming army.
The Ming army in its heyday now, even the Qing army is scum, let alone the Mongolian army!
If they take the initiative to attack, the Mongolian army may still have some fighting strength!
But now the reinforcements of the Ming army arrived, and the two sides fought in the field, but the Mongolian army almost collapsed at the first touch.
The entire grassland outside Zhangjiakou is full of the sound of galloping horses.
Wei Wu stood at the top of the city, looking at the scene of the Ming army's fine cavalry covering up the defeated Mongolian army outside the city, and he felt happy in his heart.
"Ha ha!"
"Hahaha!"
"It's fun, it's really fun!"
"My Ming Dynasty Master is indeed mighty!"
"..."
While talking, he even picked up the drumsticks with his own hands and started beating the drums to cheer.
At the same time, cheers were heard one after another on the city walls of Zhangjiakou.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious! Long live your Majesty!"
"..."
When the Mongolian army attacked Zhangjiakou before, the Ming army who defended the city felt so aggrieved, but now they cheered so happily.
My reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty are here, why are you so arrogant!
…
Burney galloped away in a hurry!
The expression on his face was full of unconcealable horror.
Turning back for a moment, he saw the Mongolian soldiers who had suffered a miserable fate under the Ming army's offensive.
People kept falling from their horses and died tragically, and there were even living people who were trampled into pulp by thousands of troops.
The cavalry roars and the horses gallop!
The sharp scimitar harvests life wantonly!
The Ming army's cavalry rushed up continuously, cutting off part of the Mongolian army's array, and then concentrated their forces to annihilate the cut off Mongolian army.
After annihilating the cut Mongolian army, the Ming army's cavalry will charge forward again, using their own sharpness to cut through the Mongolian army formation.
Then annihilate the cut-off Mongolian army!
Repeat this!
With the Ming army's attack, the number of casualties of the Mongolian army continued to rise.
The Ming army implemented its strategy in an orderly manner, weakening the Mongolian army bit by bit.
Undoubtedly, such a Ming army is quite terrifying!
The proof is that Burni has been beaten to the point of despair.
Just as the Mongolian army was running away risking their lives, large plumes of smoke appeared at the end of the northern horizon.
Experienced generals can tell at a glance that it is the movement caused by the galloping of a large group of cavalry.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Burni's heart suddenly skipped a beat, knowing that the Ming army from the north was attacking.
Things turned out just as Burni expected. The first thing that appeared in Burni's eyes was a black spot.
But in just the blink of an eye, the black dot turned into a line.
Then, from line to face very quickly!
Waves of surging red appeared at the end of the earth, and Burni's eyes widened.
He estimated that there were at least 20,000 elite cavalry there!
Flags of the Ming Dynasty were fluttering in the wind, and the tall helmets and tassels made the Ming soldiers on their horses look taller and taller.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"..."
Far away, I could feel the roaring sound.
As the Ming cavalry continued to approach, the shouts became louder and louder.
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
"..."
Not only the Ming cavalry roaring from the north were shouting.
Even the Ming army that was strangling the retreating Mongolian cavalry and the defenders of Zhangjiakou were shouting at the top of their lungs.
The shouts almost drowned the entire battlefield, covering up all sounds.
The faces of Burni and others are getting paler!
Burni, who was already furious at the loss, now began to feel regretful, feeling from the bottom of his heart that he should not have come to Zhangjiakou to seek death.
Then he thought that he should have ordered the withdrawal of the troops when the initial attack on Zhangjiakou was unfavorable!
If he had withdrawn his troops at that time, he would not be blocked by the Ming army now and would not be trapped by the Ming army.
The entire battlefield is filled with the sound of horse hooves and whistling!
The war horses galloped, and the ground rumbled under the horses' hooves.
Burni's chest heaved violently, and he watched helplessly as the elite cavalry of the Ming army from the north entered the battlefield and roared to the front of the Mongolian army.
Twenty thousand Ming army elite cavalry rushed up in batches, like waves, preparing to take turns to charge at the Mongolian army's array in order to defeat the Mongolian army.
When the two armies collided, the Ming army only charged in the first round, and a gap was torn open in the Mongolian army's array in an instant.
A large number of Ming cavalry roared in from the gap, tearing the Mongolian army's array into pieces, constantly penetrating deeply, outflanking and breaking through, inflicting heavy losses on the Mongolian army.
Burni watched with helpless eyes as the Mongolian army's front army was destroyed by a charge from the Ming army!
"Formation, formation!"
"Kill the enemy!"
Burney was shouting like a maniac.
Under the erosion of the Ming army's elite cavalry, the number of casualties of the Mongolian army continued to rise!
It didn't take long for the Mongolian army's living space to be squeezed to the extreme.
A large number of Mongolian troops gave up the idea of breaking out and formed a group, crowded together.
If you look down from the sky, you will find that the current Mongolian army array looks like a black ball.
Prepare to use this to resist the charge of the Ming army's cavalry!
At the same time, the three elite cavalry of the Ming army completed their rendezvous and began to run around the Mongolian army's formation, riding and shooting.
Horses galloped, and the ground was filled with smoke and dust, almost blocking everyone's sight.
Collapse! Collapse!
The cavalry of the Ming army galloped past, and the sound of bowstrings kept trembling.
Waves of arrows rained down on the Mongolian army as if they were free of charge.
From time to time there was the sound of musketry!
Some Ming soldiers held muskets and shot at the Mongolian army.
There was also a moment when the Ming army galloped past, pulling off the strings of grenades one by one and throwing them into the Mongolian army array.
Rumbling explosions, mixed with deafening screams, kept ringing!
At this time, the Mongolian army had already lost its resistance!
If the Ming army hadn't surrounded them and cut off their escape route, the Mongolian army would have collapsed long ago.
"kill!"
"Break the formation!"
"..."
From time to time, Ming troops rushed up on horseback, firing arrows, shooting guns, and throwing grenades.
"Wan Sheng!"
"The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
"Long live your Majesty!"
"..."
The roar echoed throughout the battlefield!
Burney had already taken off his robe and put on a leather robe that looked the same as the guards around him.
His face and body were covered with traces of dust!
His expression was full of panic.
Surrounded by a group of guards, Burni was almost carried away.
Because, listening to the shouts of death and explosions all around, Burni's legs were already as soft as noodles.
The guards supporting Burni could even feel Burni's body shaking.
"I'm so sweaty, I can't hold on any longer!"
"I really can't hold on any longer, so why not surrender?"
Gabul, Burni's close confidant, came to Burni and said with a panic expression.
Burni stared at Gabul, slapped Gabul on the face, and said in a very rude tone.
"Idiot, shut up!"
"Do you know what you're talking about?!"
"I am the Mongol Khan, how can I surrender to the Han people!?"
Gabul was stunned by the slap and did not dare to say anything more.
Luobuzang on the side also came over and said.
"Khan, we really can't hold on any longer!"
The Ming army's offensive continued and did not slow down.
Even in order to deal with the sophisticated military formation in which the Mongolian troops were now grouped together, the Ming army began to prepare to use heavy cavalry to charge into the formation.
Even several city defense artillery pieces were pulled out in the direction of Zhangjiakou!
Prepare to use city defense artillery to capture the Mongolian army's array!
Boom!
Boom!
There was a deafening roar.
A city defense gun was pushed to the front of the formation, loaded and ignited.
One after another artillery shells were fired towards the Mongolian army's array!
When fired at close range, the artillery shells easily tore through the Mongolian army's array.
The shells carried kinetic energy and penetrated a row of dozens of people in one breath, turning countless people and horses into broken corpses.
Blood is flowing everywhere!
After penetrating the bodies of countless people, the shells lost their kinetic energy and fell to the ground, spinning slowly.
When facing a tight array, the effect that solid artillery shells can exert is no less than that of blooming shells.
And, more importantly, compared to the troublesome production of blooming bullets with casting technology, a solid bullet made of solid iron lump is obviously cheaper.
Wei Wu came out of Zhangjiakou City and rode his horse to the front of the army.
Went to pay a visit to the Ming army general who commanded the Battle of Zhangjiakou, Zhao Yingdong, who was appointed Lieutenant General.
Zhao Yingdong is an old man in the Ming army!
He was one of the elders who followed Zhu Hongyu in the uprising in Luzon.
After years of military exploits accumulated, he now has the rank of lieutenant general and has been granted the title of marquis.
He is considered one of the generals under Zhu Hongyu!
Responsible for sitting in Xuanfu, the gateway to Yanjing!
It’s a high-ranking position!
After the military order was issued this time, Zhao Yingdong was responsible for all the detailed operations and adjustments.
"The last general, Wei Wu, pays homage to the Marquis!"
Wei Wu performed a military salute in front of Zhao Yingdong, and hit his left chest hard with his right fist, looking solemn.
Zhao Yingdong looked heroic as he sat astride the horse.
But he is no longer young now.
He was already in his thirties when Zhu Hongyu started the rebellion, and now he is in his early forties.
In this era, you are not considered a young person!
Zhao Yingdong glanced at Wei Wu, nodded slightly and said.
"You did a good job guarding Zhangjiakou, and cooperated with my general to complete the encirclement of the Mongols!"
"A great achievement!"
"When this battle is over, I will personally ask for credit for you!"
"I believe that Your Majesty and the imperial court will not treat you badly!"
When Wei Wu heard this, his back became straighter and straighter, and he spoke.
"The Marquis has given you too much praise. This is what we, the soldiers, should do!"
"Guarding the border for the country, even if the battlefield is stained with blood, we will never take a step back!"
Zhao Yingdong looked at Wei Wu with more and more approval.
