Chapter 908, we not only have armor, but also muskets
"kill!"
On the Kazakh grasslands, hundreds of thousands of troops were fighting together. War horses galloped across the land, roars resounded through the sky, blood flowed everywhere where the flags passed, and war horses screamed mournfully.
Seeing that the Kazakh Khanate accelerated its heavy cavalry attack, Han Yi did not choose to engage in a head-on confrontation with the opponent's armored heavy cavalry. Instead, he temporarily avoided the edge and led his 30,000 iron cavalry in a huge arc on the grassland.
.
"Kill!"
"The people of Ming Dynasty don't dare to fight our armored heavy cavalry. If we surround them, they will be dead!"
When the Kazakhs saw this, they immediately shouted excitedly. The Ming people were so scared that they did not dare to fight their armored heavy cavalry. This made them extremely excited.
The Ming Dynasty cavalry has always been a symbol of invincibility.
Starting from last winter all the way to Central Asia, tribes of all sizes were wiped out by the Ming Dynasty cavalry. No matter whether they were the Mongols, the Khitans, or the Kazakhs, they were no match for the Ming Dynasty cavalry.
They are like undefeated myths, erecting their own undefeated image in this world that advocates force.
In the brief battle just now, the Kazakh cavalry, who consider themselves a nation on horseback, were as fragile as paper. This made countless people personally feel the power and terror of the Ming Dynasty's cavalry.
However, now, when the Kazakh Khanate's armored heavy cavalry was dispatched, the people of Ming Dynasty were scared, which immediately made them feel extremely excited.
The people of Ming Dynasty are not really invincible or invincible.
At least for now, the Ming people were afraid of their armored heavy cavalry and did not dare to fight them head-on.
"Surround them and don't let them stand out~"
"The armored heavy cavalry should speed up. We must keep all the Ming cavalry in front of us here. As long as I kill them, I will have 30,000 pairs of Ming armor. By then, our Kazakh Khanate will be enough to dominate the world."
Mulundekh Khan also seemed very excited, and he even began to fantasize about dominating the world in the future.
After killing the Ming cavalry in front of me and obtaining their armor, plus my own 10,000 armors, there are 40,000 armored cavalry. With such powerful cavalry, it is not difficult to conquer the world.
However, the reality is cruel.
Although the Ming cavalry did not dare to fight against the heavy armored cavalry of the Kazakh Khanate, facing ordinary cavalry, the Ming cavalry was fearless, like an extremely sharp knife, anyone who stood in front of it would be torn to pieces.
.
After just a few rounds of fighting, wherever the thirty thousand Ming cavalry passed, corpses were strewn across the field, and war horses kept screaming beside their masters. The blood gathered into a stream and stained the crisp pasture red.
"Great Khan, we can't go on like this. This is a trick of the Ming Dynasty. If we let the Ming Dynasty continue to attack like this, there will be very few of our 100,000 cavalry left."
"Except for this heavy armored cavalry, our other cavalry are no match for the Ming people."
Someone beside Mulundekh Khan said anxiously, having clearly seen Han Yi's tactics.
"I know, but if we retreat today, who will protect this grassland?"
"How long can we hold on if the Ming Dynasty is allowed to burn, kill and loot on our grasslands?"
Mulundek Khan shook his head slightly. He also saw the intention of the Ming people. However, he had no choice but to fight the Ming people to the end.
The Great Yuzi Grassland has been plundered by the Ming Dynasty, and there is nothing left. If the Ming Dynasty plunders the Kazakh grassland again, the Kazakh Khanate will exist in name only.
Although the entire Kazakh Khanate has a population of one million, it is nothing compared to the huge population of the Ming Dynasty. This is the weakness of the nomadic people. Population has always been an important factor restricting their national strength.
"Damn Ming people!"
As soon as Mulundekh Khan finished speaking, he couldn't help but cursed again.
The Ming cavalry who had already rushed out did not leave directly. Instead, they threw an arc on the grassland and came back again.
Obviously, the people of Ming Dynasty were not afraid of the heavy armored cavalry in their hands at all, but they were very strategic and planned to swallow up all the 100,000 troops in their hands. Their appetite was really too big.
On the one hand, he pretended to be defeated by the heavy armored cavalry, and on the other hand, he clung to himself and continued to kill, arousing the anger of the Kazakh cavalry. In this way, he could cling to him and let himself play with them to the end.
And as long as you continue to play with them, you will definitely lose.
"Great prairie warriors, follow me and kill!"
Mulundekh Khan took out the golden sword in his hand and roared at the elite troops around him. With the roar, he rushed out like a blast of wind.
At this time, he had no choice but to risk everything. The young and brave Mulundekh Khan chose to go to the battlefield in person. He wanted to use his actions to inspire the warriors under his command.
"Kill!"
Mulundekh Khan went to the battlefield in person, and all the warriors of the Kazakh Khanate seemed to have been beaten to death, and they all tried their best to kill the Ming army.
"This is life-threatening. Even their great Khan went to the battlefield himself."
"I'm still thinking about how to catch you then. Catching you will definitely be a big achievement."
Han Yi, who was riding a war horse galloping on the grassland, saw this scene and immediately laughed.
If Mulundekh Khan could be captured alive or brought back with Mulendekh Khan's head, it would be a great achievement, and there would be even more hope for him to become a prince himself.
"A roundabout attack!"
Han Yi quickly adjusted his tactics, and the army continued to make detours on the vast grassland. Each detour was like a sharp blade cutting through the army of the Kazakh Khanate, tearing the formation of the Kazakh Khanate army to pieces.
After several detours, the battlefield gradually became quiet.
Less than half of the 100,000 Kazakh Khanate army is left. The vast grassland is full of corpses, wailing horses, and green grass covered with blood. In the sky, groups of vultures are constantly circling.
Letting out bursts of excited chirps.
"Hoo~ho!"
Mulundek Khan was riding on his sweaty horse, panting all over, and the hand holding the golden knife couldn't help but tremble.
Just after a pursuit, he had a battle with the Ming Dynasty's cavalry. Even though he was protected by the brave warriors of the Kazakh Khanate, and even though he himself was brave and good at fighting, this brief battle was still something he would never forget.
The sword in his hand slashed at the opponent's armor and was unable to break it. But beside him, the carefully selected warriors from all over the Kazakh Khanate were chopped off by the Ming cavalry like dumplings. If someone hadn't desperately protected them,
Himself, maybe he would have died under the opponent's saber.
Of course, this was not the reason for his trembling. What really made him tremble was the horrific casualties on his side.
After just a few battles, there were only less than 50,000 of the 100,000 cavalry left. Looking at the Ming cavalry who were reorganizing their army, their casualties were almost minimal.
"Great Khan, we must withdraw. If this continues, we will all die here. Leave some seeds for our grassland. If the remaining tens of thousands of people die, then our Kazakh Khanate will probably perish.
.”
One of the ministers said sadly.
"withdraw?"
"Can we evacuate?"
Mulundekhan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Looking towards the side of the Ming cavalry, I saw that the Ming cavalry was no longer taking detours and was reorganizing the army. Their soldiers were eating beef jerky to replenish their physical strength, and the horses were resting, preparing for the next wave of attacks.
Looking at the armored heavy cavalry that he had placed high hopes on, all of them were already exhausted. Not only were these warriors exhausted, but even the superior war horses they were riding were exhausted.
Each one of them was covered in thick iron armor and equipped with heavy weapons. They were chasing the Ming people on the battlefield. It was a hot summer day and they couldn't stand it at all.
Many war horses were tired and lying on the grassland foaming at the mouth. As for the soldiers, they couldn't bear it any more. They took off their thick armor and lay down on the grass and took big gulps of water.
The people of Ming Dynasty did not intend to let them go just like this, and they would not give up until they ate everyone.
As soon as Mulundekh Khan finished speaking, the Ming Dynasty cavalry, which had finished reorganizing their army and took the time to replenish their physical strength, started moving again, and with the rumble of horse hooves, they once again charged towards the place where Mulundekh Khan was.
"Protect the Khan!"
"Form up!"
Around Mulundekh Khan, the ministers immediately roared angrily.
Since cavalry can't win in a battle, let's not fight at all.
The remaining tens of thousands of cavalry quickly gathered around the hillside where Mulendek was located, using their war horses to build an extremely tight protective wall, tightly protecting Mulendek Khan in the middle.
Nearly 50,000 people and 50,000 horses gathered around a small hillside, forming an extremely huge circle like an iron barrel.
On the outer edge of the circle were the armored heavy cavalry hurriedly on board, and in the middle was the hillside where Mulendek Khan's golden tent was located.
"Oh, you actually played the iron bucket tactic with me."
Seeing this scene in front of him, Han Yi couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Once the cavalry rushes through such a dense formation, it will be impossible to move forward. Even if they are protected by armor, they will probably suffer heavy casualties.
The most advantageous way for cavalry to fight is to fight in open, flat and open areas, constantly breaking up the enemy's formations. A formation that is too dense is very detrimental to the cavalry's charge.
The dense formation of 50,000 horses in front of us is very detrimental to the charge of our own cavalry.
"Hey, we not only have armor, we also have the sharpest muskets. It's time to show you how powerful the muskets are."
