At this moment, the remaining three battalions of soldiers and horses had already taken the initiative to attack, leaving only the middle battalion suddenly exposed and located close to the south, which was the direction from which the charging Tatar cavalry came.
Ma Ang roared and ordered: "Form up, form up, archers release arrows. Order each battalion to retreat, each battalion retreats."
The soldiers hurriedly formed a formation on the spot, and some of the infantrymen from the surrounding battalions also quickly moved back. The shield bearers and archers and gunmen of the middle camp had just set up their posture, and the Tatar cavalry from the south had already rushed forward.
At this moment, Ma Ang realized how huge the opponent's number was. It was an army of at least five or six thousand Tatar cavalry, overwhelming and rushing in like a tide, mixed with snow, fog and the cold wind in the early morning.
The archers of the Ming army began to fire arrows, and the arrows were shot out intensively. The Tatar cavalry were hit by arrows one after another. The cavalry and their horses rolled and slid on the snow, and blood splashed in the snow and mist. The scene was chaotic.
But the arrows could not stop the Tatar cavalry from rushing forward, nor could they affect the speed of their charge. They held their scimitars high, roared loudly, and their braided yellow hair was flying. They were wearing only simple clothes.
Leather armor, except for a scimitar and a long bow, there are no other encumbrances on the body. Many people's horses don't even have saddles, just a layer of fur.
But precisely because they did not have too many encumbrances, heavy armors and saddles, they charged more quickly. They were like flying fish flying on the water on the snow, and the horses' four hooves seemed to be flying in the clouds without touching the ground.
The archers in the middle camp only had time to shoot two rounds of arrows, and the more than a hundred musketeers only had time to shoot one round of muskets. After shooting and overturning more than 200 Tatar cavalry, the Tatar cavalry stepped onto the central camp.
The heads of Ming army soldiers.
As if a raging tide hit a dam, at the moment when the battle lines were handed over, there was a roar. The crowd seemed to create a huge ripple, and a layer of blood-colored ripples instantly appeared on the black and white battle line. It was like thousands of bright and magnificent flowers.
The flowers are in full bloom.
Blood splashed in the air, severed palms, flying heads, blood spraying from the wounds, deformed faces trampled by horse hooves. Hands holding a weapon and piercing the flesh with veins exposed.

Time seems to be frozen at this moment, this is the moment of killing and death. At this moment, hundreds of lives passed away. Those twisted and painful faces, those dimmed eyes, and those tired bodies. Life at this moment is like
Grass mustard.
Hundreds of lives passed away in an instant, and the corpses were quickly trampled by the hooves of horses and soldiers into the cold snow and mud.
No matter who you are. A son who is loved and lamented by parents, a husband in the hearts of wives and concubines, a stalwart father in the eyes of children, or a best friend in the eyes of friends, there is no difference at this moment.
The poor bones by the Wuding River are like those in a spring boudoir dream!
The Tatar cavalry charges are so ferocious that even though the soldiers in the border towns have been fighting with them for many years, they have never really experienced it. Especially on the snowy fields, when a large group of cavalry charges forward, it is definitely a nightmare.
They ignored any obstructions and obstacles, ignored life and death, and charged fiercely without any fear or flinching. Even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, they gave people a feeling of stepping in resolutely.
What's more, there is no terrain that can stop them.
The torrent of cavalry tore the Ming army's defense line of temporary shields and archers into pieces in an instant, leaving the rest to rush on horseback and kill without restraint.
Ma Ang saw the blood gushing in front of him, and the sight of human heads and limbs flying into the sky in the flash of swords, and his whole body became cold. The soldiers around him had no time to come back to help, and his own battalion of soldiers and horses could not stop this at all.
What to do when planting?
If we run back immediately at this moment, we can escape from the battlefield and the ferocious Tatars, and our lives will be safe. However, a disastrous defeat is certain. I am afraid that the entire central camp will be ruined.
In front of the cavalry, once the infantry retreats, it is equivalent to being slaughtered. I am afraid that all 30,000 soldiers and horses of my own will be annihilated. If so, what if I escape with my life? Isn't it still dead?
Instead of doing this, why should I run away? Maybe this is my fate, maybe this is my destination. If my destination must be death, I can't be called a coward who is timid in battle. I have walked step by step to where I am today.
, it’s not all about digging into the camp, it’s also about fighting with blood and having your head pinned to the waistband of your trousers.
"My lord, the general and the cavalry guards will protect you as you retreat. The Tatar cavalry is fierce and cannot be stopped from the front. It is not safe here. If you retreat and join forces with the other three battalions, you may be able to survive." The guards beside you said.
Qin Datong from Qianhu came on horseback and said loudly.
Beside him were gathered more than 600 bodyguard cavalrymen from the middle camp, as well as hundreds of bodyguard soldiers.
Ma Ang's face sank and he shouted in a cold voice: "Retreat? Where to retreat? We have no way to retreat, we can only fight to the death with the Tatars. Listen to me, but anyone who wants to retreat will be subject to military law."
Ma Ang reached out and took the spear hanging next to the saddle in his hand, adjusted his helmet with one hand, pointed the spear at an angle toward the place where the fierce battle was taking place, and roared loudly.
"We and the border troops live to serve the country and die to kill the enemy. Brothers, kill me! The opportunity has come to serve the Ming Dynasty and serve the country with all your loyalty. Kill!"
Ma Ang's roar echoed in the air. He urged his horse and rushed out. All the soldiers were stunned for a moment, and they were all infected by Ma Ang's courage. Qin Datong raised his long sword and shouted sternly: "Kill!
"
The cavalry and guards roared loudly: "Kill!"
Under the leadership of Ma Ang, more than a thousand cavalry and infantry rushed from the rear to the front, charging straight at the Tatar cavalry who were slaughtering Ming soldiers crazily. The Ming soldiers were already panic-stricken, and the Tatar cavalry was too ferocious and killed many people.
Cai is not an opponent at all, how can he be an enemy? They are so frightened that they are about to collapse.

But at this moment, the commander-in-chief personally charged, which immediately boosted their morale. The soldiers mustered up their courage, shouted loudly and launched a counterattack.
Ma Ang fell into hundreds of cavalry and rushed into the weak spot on the right side of the battlefield, where the Tatar cavalry had been charged to pieces. The two thousand-man teams on the right had been scattered, and a group of Tatar cavalry was stepping on the ground.
The corpses rushed over.
Ma Ang's cavalry just blocked the gap and faced the opposite side, blocking the way of a group of Tatar cavalry in front. The two sides rushed to one place in an instant and started a melee.
Of course Ma Ang is not a vegetarian. Without real kung fu, he would not have reached the heights he is today. He is also the best who fought hard on the battlefield. But when he saw him rushing into the Tatar cavalry, the spear in his hand danced like a wheel, the spear
During the ups and downs, several Tatar cavalry were picked off, swept or stabbed by him and fell off their horses one after another.
Two Tatar cavalrymen rushed forward, one holding a scimitar and the other holding an iron bone flower. They raised their eyebrows and let out strange screams. Ma Ang sneered and thrust out his spear. The Tatar soldier holding the iron bone flower waved his sword to block.
Ma Ang flicked his wrist, and the tip of his spear held a semicircle of spear flowers, perfectly avoiding the opponent's block, and plunged into the opponent's chest with a pop.
The Tatar yelled and grabbed the barrel of the spear with both hands. Ma Ang swung the spear head, lifted it in the air, and smashed it toward the ground. The soldier screamed and fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
But at the same time, the Tatar cavalry holding a scimitar next to him took advantage of this opportunity to approach Ma Ang. The scimitar in his hand slashed towards Ma Ang's shoulder very quickly.
Ma Ang couldn't catch him in time, so he suddenly pulled out his left foot from the stirrup and kicked the Tatar in the chest. The Tatar was kicked into the air, Ma Ang turned his spear and shot him through while he was still in the air.
It's so transparent.
Loud cheers came from the surroundings, which were heartfelt cheers from the cavalry and guards around them after witnessing the power of the Commander-in-Chief. Although the Commander-in-Chief is usually irritable and lustful, and often curses, he has real abilities.
.At this time, his bravery greatly boosted morale.
Ma Ang was so proud that he held his gun across his chest and laughed.
At this moment, a Tatar rode his horse and rushed in front of him. The weapon in his hand was a mace iron rod about ten feet long. The black barb on the head of the rod was covered with dripping blood and flesh.

Ma Ang stabbed out without thinking, and the opponent hit him on the head with a mace, but he didn't even pay attention to Ma Ang's shot. Ma Ang was stunned. The opponent was dressed in ordinary clothes and was just an ordinary Tatar soldier. How could he fight with him?
Both sides were hurt. So the spear turned around and crossed the head to block.
There was a "ding" sound. Ma Ang felt his arms were sore and numb, and he almost dropped the spear. He did not expect that the opponent's arm strength was so strong.
While he was in shock, the other party burst out laughing: "Good man, no one can stop my attack. Sure enough, the generals of the Ming Dynasty are not all pustules. However, it is a pity that you will all die here today."
