In the dark night, the sound of horse hooves roared, and the shouts of killing resounded loudly.
The cavalry team of 10,000 people led by Yisima was divided into three echelons. They accelerated from several miles away and charged toward the front camp of the Ming army like a tide.
Although Batu Munch gave the order for a tentative attack, Yisma regarded this night attack as a formal and unreserved attack. That's why he fed his brothers roasted whole sheep and drank strong alcohol.
, let everyone eat and drink enough.
Yisima believes that his attack will definitely break through the Ming army's camp, because after observation, there are no defensive measures around the Ming army's camp. Even a low wall can hinder the cavalry charge and protect the camp.
Function. But for so many days, the area around the Ming army camp has been empty.
This kind of camp is like a woman lying there with all her clothes off. She should be feasting long ago. But I don't know why the Khan is so cautious and doesn't dare to take action.
The cavalry of the Ming Army were on both wings of their formation, and the cavalry of Yisima attacked on the north side. The cavalry of the Ming Army could not come to fight. Therefore, this charge will be a flat river, going straight to the opponent's front camp and destroying the opponent's camp.
It was a mess. The rest of the army hidden in the side and rear had the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and launch an attack.
In this battle, Yisima believes that he will be the great hero.

The Tatar cavalry galloped on horseback, and the rugged road did not trouble them in the slightest. On the bumpy horses, they circled their scimitars, waved their fists, and uttered strange screams like ghosts and wolves as they pounced on the front camp of the Ming army.
come over.
In a very short time, the Tatar cavalry rushed to a distance of 400 steps outside the Ming army's camp. At this moment, the speed of the war horses had reached the limit. At this distance, it only took more than 20 breaths to rush to the opponent's camp.
.Has almost unstoppable distance and speed.
There will be a battle soon, and the adrenaline hormones are soaring at this moment. At this time, some people will even have nosebleeds in excitement. Because the blood in their whole body is hot and moving around in the blood vessels, looking for a breakthrough to burst out.
Just when the Tatar cavalry began to raise their scimitars high, their bodies arched slightly, and their muscles tightened, getting ready for fighting, a strange scene suddenly happened.
The hundreds of Tatar cavalry rushing in the front row suddenly had their bodies torn apart. Some of their heads were separated from their bodies, some were cut off by their waists, and some of them were cut into two halves with their men and horses.
The hot blood was vented everywhere from the broken part of the head and the cut section of the body. Even in the dim light of the night, you can see the dark red blood splashing like a spring.
Large pieces of human and horse flesh collapsed to the ground, and the humans and horses rolled on the ground and screamed. This scene was strange, terrifying, and creepy.
The second row of cavalry had no time to evade. Although they saw the weird and terrifying scene in front of them, they had no time to react. Hundreds of cavalry rushed over, and the same weird scene also appeared on them. Their bodies were cut open.
In an instant, it turned into several large pieces of minced meat.
What's even more strange is that the mutilated bodies of more than a dozen Tatars are actually suspended in the air out of thin air.
The shouts of killing from the Tatar cavalry immediately turned into screams of horror. Someone had already discovered the clue. Under the dim light, they saw several thin and tight lines hanging in the air. There were five lines in total.
The line stretched across the front, forming a barrier. At this moment, more than a dozen corpses were hanging on it, shaking up and down, like thick black notes dancing on the staff, or like small fish stuck in a fishing net.
"Don't charge! Don't charge! There are obstacles, there are obstacles." The Tatar cavalry in the front row shouted in horror.

The cavalry from the rear rushed over and reined up their horses when they heard the shouts. The horses were forced to stop while running wildly, stood upright, and neighed. The cavalry on the horses had good riding skills and could stabilize their bodies.
Those who were not good enough were thrown off their horses. Some horses could not be restrained at all and hit the five hidden ropes in front of them, causing their skin and flesh to split instantly.
"What's going on? What happened? Why did you stop charging?" A frustrated captain rushed over from behind on horseback and shouted loudly.
No one needed to explain, but he was dumbfounded when he saw a dozen corpses hanging on hidden ropes, bouncing up and down, gushing blood.
The Tatar cavalry quickly figured out the situation. Those hidden ropes were not ropes, but thin iron wires. They were knotted with sharp spikes. They were extremely tough and tight. Following the iron wires, they found two people a hundred steps apart.
Thick logs were planted deep into the ground, and iron wires were wrapped around these logs, spreading in the east-west direction and becoming the outer barrier of the Ming army camp.
Yes, this is the iron wire defense line specially prepared by Zhang Yanling to defend against the Tatar cavalry. The smelting furnace of the Wild Dog Ridge Arsenal has long been able to smelt iron ingots with strong ductility. A commonly used thing like iron wire is naturally of great use.
It doesn't cost much and is easy to make.
Zhang Yanling specially ordered to set up a wire drawing production line. The thing is actually very simple. The smelted molten iron is cooled, stretched and wound around a wooden wheel. The process is not complicated. Currently, Wild Dog Ridge can produce three types of wire drawings.
The standard wire comes out.
Fighting against the Tatars, fighting on the grassland and desert, and the opponent was cavalry, Zhang Yanling naturally wanted to use the wire. The circle of wire surrounding the camp was quickly and conveniently erected. The blocking effect must be very good, and the soldiers would save money.
Why not spend all your energy building mounds of camp fortifications?
In the past few days, the Tatars have seen the Ming army planting wooden stakes outside the camp and pulling up ropes. In fact, they are setting up a wire defense line. It's just that the Tatars regard the iron wire wrapped with twine as a rope. The purpose of wrapping the twine is actually
It also misleads the Tatars, making them think that they can break through in a single charge. This is to prevent the Tatars from launching a charge when it is still daylight.
The Tatar cavalry charged at extremely fast speeds and collided with these thin iron wires. The consequences can be imagined. The outer iron wires are made of special triangular molds. Although the edges are not sharp, under strong impact, the
They were made of flesh and blood, and even hardwood had to be cut open. The faster the Tatar cavalry were, the faster they would suffer damage.
Many Tatar cavalrymen had their heads and bodies cut off by these iron wires, turning them into broken corpses.
The news was quickly reported to Yisima. Yisima was in the second echelon. He originally saw the first echelon of cavalry stopped and was cursing. At this moment, after receiving the report, he rushed over to check and saw corpses of flesh and blood all over the ground.
, and was also extremely shocked.

"Lord Yisima, are we still going to attack? This iron chain stretches for several miles, completely covering the front of the enemy camp without any gaps. What should we do?" asked a captain.
Yisima came back to his senses and yelled: "Are you a stupid pig? Can't you just cut off these iron ropes? Form the team and continue the attack."
The Tatar cavalry hurriedly agreed and began to slash with their swords. The iron rope was quickly cut and the gap was cleared. The Tatar cavalry regrouped, mounted their horses again and began to charge. The cavalry rushed into the gap and headed towards the brightly lit street.
The front camp of the Ming army launched another charge.
This time, all the Tatar cavalry were cautious, staring at the air in front of them, for fear of being blocked by the iron rope again. The horses did not dare to reach the speed limit for fear of not being able to react in time.
After running for more than a hundred steps, we saw the iron rope defense line again. This time, there were only about a hundred cavalrymen. And because the charging speed was not fast, most of them were injured, and they did not have the lethality caused by the first iron rope.
fear.
After quickly clearing the second iron rope, the Tatar cavalry began to charge again. Then, a hundred steps later, they encountered the third iron rope.
This was probably the most uncomfortable charge for the Tatars. The three iron wire defense lines forced the Tatars to stop running fast again and again to deal with these iron ropes. The speed they had just raised had to return to zero, just like taking a shit and then
It's just as uncomfortable to shrink back.
The momentum of the previous charge was completely dissipated in this pause. When we were a hundred steps away from the enemy's formation, the horses had not yet picked up speed. Is this called a charge into the camp? Isn't it a joke?
Yisima was furious at the rear and cursed angrily, but he also realized that the attack tonight would probably be in vain.
If the opponent pulls a few more iron ropes dozens of steps in front of the camp, the soldiers and horses will either hit hard upwards, or stop there to be used as arrow targets, which will cause heavy casualties. If you delay for too long, you will be surrounded by the Ming army.
If you lose the flank, you will get dumped. How can you fight this battle?

After thinking deeply, Yisima made a decision and issued the order to withdraw troops before the last iron line of defense.
All the Tatar cavalry felt as if they had eaten shit, turned their horses around, and retreated in dejection.
The soldiers in the front camp of the Ming army witnessed all this and looked at each other in shock. The cannons and bows and arrows were not used. The pikemen and lasso soldiers were all trying to fight, but in the end the Tatars escaped. It was really boring.
When the news reached Zhang Yanling and Zhang Lun, Zhang Lun was surprised, but Zhang Yanling laughed and said: "They know each other well. The British and Tatars are nothing more than that. A few iron ropes will make them helpless. Don't you doubt it this time?"
Is my iron chain formation gone? The more powerful ones behind it haven’t been put to use yet.”
Zhang Lun nodded repeatedly, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart. What he was most worried about was the empty surroundings of the camp every night. Facts have proved that he was worried too much.
