"The Second Army and the Third Army are responsible for covering!"
Following Han Yi's order, 30,000 cavalrymen quickly began to take action.
The soldiers of the First Army stopped their horses one after another, and then dismounted one by one.
"Look to the right~"
"Stand at attention, take a break ~ stand at attention!"
As the commander issued orders one after another, the 10,000 men of the First Army quickly gathered together to form a huge square array.
"Start, let's go!"
One by one, they carried muskets and followed the commander's orders, walking in neat steps toward the camp where the Kazakh Khanate army gathered.
On their two wings, 20,000 people from the Second Army and the Third Army were still riding on their horses, and the sabers in their hands were not sheathed. Once there were cavalry from the Kazakh Khanate army who wanted to attack the First Army camp,
They will immediately step forward to block it.
In such an open grassland without any cover, if the infantry confronts the cavalry, the outcome will definitely be disastrous. This is why Han Yi only asked the first army to dismount and use muskets to attack.
"Tap~tap~"
Accompanied by the sound of neat footsteps, 10,000 people slowly approached the Kazakh Khanate army.
"What are they going to do?"
Mulundekh Khan looked at the Ming army's actions and his whole body was full of doubts.
Since the Kazakh Khanate fought with the Ming Dynasty, they only knew that the Ming Dynasty's cavalry was very powerful. Although they had heard about the Ming Dynasty's firearms, they did not know how powerful the Ming Dynasty's firearms were.
So when he looked at the Ming army in front of him, who clearly had war horses that were not in use, but instead dismounted and walked towards him in a neat formation, he was full of doubts.
"They should be using firearms. I heard that the Ming people's firearms are extremely sharp."
Someone thought for a while and replied.
"firearm?"
Mulundekh Khan was a little confused after thinking for a while, but soon he smiled and said: "They are looking for death. Can firearms be comparable to our bows and arrows?"
"Send the order and let me shoot them with bows and arrows."
Soon, a large number of soldiers on the side of the Kazakh Khanate army also took out their bows and arrows, waiting for the Ming army to enter the attack range of the bows and arrows, and then use their bows and arrows to avenge their shame.
However, the Ming army stopped just outside the range of their bows and arrows. Then the team of 10,000 people quickly divided into three columns, and then muskets were aimed at them.
"First team, prepare, shoot!"
Soon, following the commander's order, more than 3,000 people in the first row pulled the trigger. A billowing white smoke rose, and a dense sound like fried beans rang out.
Then, on the side of the Kazakh Khanate army, the army at the front, dense projectiles fell here, and a large number of people fell down immediately. The camp that was originally surrounded by iron barrels was torn apart at once.
A large gap was opened.
"Second team, prepare, attack!"
The Ming army's attack had no intention of stopping. After the first team finished attacking, they immediately moved to the back and started loading gunpowder and bullets. The second team came to the front and stretched out their long muskets again.
Then billowing white smoke rose again, and under the strong smell of gunpowder, lead pellets flew towards the dense camp of the Kazakh Khanate army again, and suddenly opened a large hole again.
"Block~hold still!"
The army of the Kazakh Khanate was completely panicked. The attack range of the Ming Dynasty's muskets was actually farther than their bows and arrows. The key is that the power was so terrifying.
In just two waves of attacks, the men and horses at the front have been torn to pieces. If this happens for a few more rounds, the entire front will completely collapse.
"Bang~bang~"
However, the Ming army's attacks were unmoved. Wave after wave poured towards the Kazakh Khanate army like a tide.
"Press forward and use our bows and arrows to counterattack!"
Mulundekh Khan's face turned livid, but he issued the order very decisively.
Soon, the army of the Kazakh Khanate began to spread, and those at the front began to press forward to cover the archers behind, hoping to use bows and arrows to attack the Ming Dynasty's musketeers.
However, Han Yi would not let his plan go as planned, and the remaining 20,000 troops also took action quickly.
The war horses swam in circuitous directions, but the bows and arrows in their hands were constantly attacking the Kazakh Khanate army. Horseback riding and shooting arrows had always been a specialty of the grassland nomads, but the Ming cavalry was even smoother than them.
Twenty thousand people moved very neatly, and sharp arrows formed a dense rain of arrows. The cavalry of the Kazakh Khanate without armor protection were immediately killed by the dense rain of arrows and howled repeatedly.
The cavalry's weapon against dense formations has always been the bow and arrow. Horses are used to circle outside the dense formation, and then bows and arrows are used to destroy the enemy.
This set of tactics was once used by the Mongols like fire and innocence.
The Mongolian army was able to sweep the world relying not on their scimitars, but on their bows and arrows.
This point was not only learned by Ming cavalry, but was also a subject of specialized training. Those who did not meet the requirements could not become a qualified Ming cavalry.
"Bang~bang~"
"Boo~hoo!"
Intense gunshots, rain-like bows and arrows, and a double blow, the Kazakh Khanate army fell into the wind like waves of wheat overwhelmed by the wind. In just a moment, the men and horses on the outermost periphery were killed, and the ones who were killed were turned upside down.
, the entire protective circle was torn to pieces.
"Stand at attention and start walking!"
On the Ming army's side, after several rounds of attacks, the 10,000 men of the First Army put away their muskets and once again marched towards the Kazakh Khanate's army in neat steps, getting closer.
"Khan, please retreat quickly. If you don't retreat, we really won't be able to leave."
The people beside Mulundekh Khan said very anxiously.
How can war be played without it?
Even if the cavalry can't defeat the Ming people, the Ming people actually possess such sharp firearms. In just a few rounds of attacks, the entire front line is completely torn apart. If the attack continues, the Ming army's cavalry can directly charge over.
By then, they will really all be buried here.
"There is absolutely no way to evacuate. Even if we could evacuate, the rest of us would probably die."
"Let's negotiate peace with the Ming people. As long as they are willing to stop here, we will agree to any conditions."
Mulundekh Khan closed his eyes in despair, but even if he closed his eyes, the intensive gunshots still came one after another. After each wave of gunfire, his army would inevitably be accompanied by a large number of casualties.
.
The soldiers under his command bravely used their own flesh and blood to form a protective wall to protect themselves without fear of death. How could I just leave them and retreat?
Let's negotiate peace. It is not a shameful thing to submit to the Ming Dynasty and pay tribute.
"Great Khan, we can't just bow to the Ming Dynasty people. The Ming Dynasty people are burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil on our Great Yuzi grassland. If we negotiate a peace with the Ming Dynasty people, how will we explain to everyone?"
When someone heard this, they immediately said angrily.
"So what if we don't negotiate for peace?"
"Do we have to have all of us killed by the Ming people before we are willing to bow our heads?"
Mulundekh Khan said helplessly.
"The Ming Dynasty has just entered Central Asia and has not yet established a stable foothold, so it will kill all the people in order to establish its majesty. As long as we are willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and make peace with the Ming Dynasty, they should agree. Otherwise, if we really don't stop fighting,
We can also break it into parts and continue to disrupt their Hezhong and Western Regions, so that they can never even think of establishing a foothold in the Hezhong area."
"Great Khan, if this can be done, then why do we still need to negotiate peace with them? We might as well break it into pieces and harass them constantly, and force them to take the initiative to negotiate peace with us."
Someone said anxiously again.
"Do you think it was the Ming people who couldn't withstand our harassment first, or we couldn't withstand the Ming people's killings first?"
Mulundekh Khan looked at the other party and asked: "We have no choice. Go ahead and send people to negotiate peace with them."
"Just say that we, the Kazakh Khanate, are willing to submit to the Ming Empire and pay tribute, and we are willing to pay tribute to the Ming Empire of 100,000 good horses every year!"
"yes!"
After hearing Mulundekh Khan's words, the people around him were silent for a while. The Ming people burned, killed and looted in Dayuzi, directly turning a prosperous grassland into a deserted land. If the Ming people continued to kill like this, Kazakhstan
The Khanate will definitely fall first.
Soon, someone was riding a horse in a hurry, flying a white flag, shouting loudly in Ming Dynasty, and driving towards the Ming army.
"We, the Kazakh Khanate, are willing to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty!"
"We, the Kazakh Khanate, are willing to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty, and from now on we will pay tribute of 100,000 war horses to the Ming Empire every year!"
The sound was very loud, and at the same time, someone kept shouting loudly in Mongolian and Kazakh.
As the sound rang out, the Kazakh warriors who heard the sound put down their swords and arrows one after another, and stared dumbfounded at the peace envoys walking towards the Ming army. Their eyes showed unwillingness, but they could also see that they were heavy
He breathed a sigh of relief, no one wanted to die, everyone wanted to live.
On the side of the Ming army, Han Yi was planning to launch another attack, completely tearing apart the defense of the Kazakh Khanate army, and then go straight to Huanglong and kill towards the hillside where the Kazakh Khanate Mulendek Khan's golden tent was located.
But he didn't expect that they would take the initiative to send people over to negotiate peace, and they were even willing to pay tribute to the Ming dynasty. This made people immediately startled and a little at a loss.
"Stop attacking!"
"I'd like to see what they say."
But soon, Han Yi also issued an order to stop the attack. Looking at the battlefield in front of him, the results were still very good. Almost half of the remaining 50,000 enemy troops had been wiped out. Mulundekh Khan's side
There were less than 30,000 horses left.
"The annual tribute of 100,000 war horses seems not enough~"
Soon, he heard clearly and immediately curled his lips and said.
