The Tatar cavalry who charged head-on from the north did not take the curtain-like thing in front of the Ming army's formation seriously. After all, it looked like just a curtain, only half a man tall, swinging in the wind.
No one will stop charging in front of a curtain. Until, they bump into it...
The Tatar cavalry broke through the curtain with an indomitable charge. The next moment, countless men and horses in the front row were cut open, and then they were thrown up and fell to the ground like a pile of rags. The remains of the war horses and the limbs of the cavalry were flying in the air.
, blood sprayed like fireworks, flesh and blood splashed like a fountain.
The cavalrymen who rushed in the front row, except for a few lucky ones, were cut into pieces of flesh in an instant. The intestines of the men and horses were ruptured, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. Some only had half of their bodies left, some were missing arms and legs, and some were torn apart.
It was broken into pieces of flesh and blood and scattered on the grass like falling rain.
The curtain had been smashed to pieces, but the thing behind the curtain revealed a sinister face. The galloping Tatar cavalry hit the steel-blade horse specially built for them by the Ming army. A simple triangular bowl with a thick mouth.
Juma made of logs,
On the front is a thick-backed steel blade about a dozen feet long, and the upper frame is a zigzag steel blade. They stand on the grass, and the adjacent steel blades are connected with iron hooks, and the rear is supported in the ground, forming a chain.
Artificial fortifications designed to protect against horse charges.
The height of this horse with the serrated steel blade at the top is only half a person's height. It has an extremely low center of gravity, is stable and strong, and is connected into a wall. Together with the two diagonal support pillars at the rear, it is as stable as Mount Tai. The cavalrymen bump into it blankly.
, which is naturally the result of cutting the body with a sharp blade.
Those curtains are just to block the eyes of the opposing cavalry so that they cannot see the horses behind the curtain. Because it is daytime, the visibility is very good. If it is not covered, it can be distinguished with a telescope from several miles away.
.The Tatar cavalry will take precautions, and it will not be able to withstand the impact of the cavalry.
Thousands of Tatar cavalrymen and horses collided with these resisting horses and were cut into pieces. Tragically, most of the cavalrymen were only hit in the lower body. The upper body was intact, but the steel blade below the waist was cut into pieces.
, the bones were broken and exposed, and it was terrifying.

A large number of soldiers were still alive when they were thrown to the ground. They screamed miserably when they landed, and the ground was filled with howls of ghosts and wolves.
The war horse's intestines were disemboweled, its legs were cut off, and its intestines and internal organs were spilled all over the floor.
This kind of scene is simply extremely tragic, like being in hell.
There are only more than 300 such Juma in the Ming army. They were originally used as a barrier to kill the Tatar cavalry in frontal battles. Coupled with the heavy weight, these 300 or so Juma alone took up forty
Multiple carts and horses were used to load and transport it, so it was impossible to carry too much.
These more than 300 resisting horses are only enough to assemble a resisting horse barrier of more than 300 steps in front of the northern formation, which can barely cover the northern front.
However, this does not mean that the Tatar cavalry on the other three sides can rush into the army unimpeded. At this moment, they are encountering obstacles they have never seen before and suffering blows they have never experienced before.
Like the north side, the Tatar cavalry in the east, west and south directions encountered bows, arrows and firearms during the charge. Nearly a thousand cavalry were killed or wounded. In the last few dozen steps, countless cavalry plunged into a circle of barbed wire fences.
front line of defense.
These barbed wire fences are different from the previous wire rope formations, which were just straightened and tightened wires. What is now laid out are circles of real barbed wire fences that are half a man tall and have spikes like thorns. There is no need for too much
For fixed points, just pull these barbed wires and spread them on the grass in front of the battle, and then fix them with iron sticks at both ends to form a barrier to block the cavalry.
Circles of barbed wire were neatly stacked and transported on carts with the army. They were tied into bundles of circles with thick ropes. Two soldiers could easily lift a bundle. All they had to do was to lift it onto the grass.
Stand upright, pull the rope at both ends and extend it to form a barbed wire defense line twenty steps long. Then tie this section of barbed wire together with a thick rope and fix it slightly on the ground.
This thing is extremely convenient and quick to deploy. After discovering the enemy, thousands of soldiers of the Ming Army completed the deployment of these barbed wire fences at a distance of forty steps in front of the formation in less than a stick of incense, forming a temporary defense.
Charge obstacles.

The Tatar cavalry couldn't see clearly what these barbed wire fences looked like from a distance. Many Tatars thought they were just clumps of bushes and thorns. The stretched barbed wire fences were indeed transparent, and you couldn't see them clearly unless you rushed up close.
But when they rushed closer, they could no longer rein in their horses and dodge.
Countless cavalrymen rushed into the barbed wire fence from all directions. Suddenly, people fell on their backs and screamed in agony.
These barbed wire fences have considerable elasticity, and the impact of the Tatar cavalry rushing up is not enough to cause it to break. At most, it will be slightly displaced. The cavalry with such strong impact will be forcibly trapped, including men and horses.
Come down, unable to break through the restraints of the barbed wire fence.
In a very short period of time, the charging Tatar cavalry rushed forward and were stopped by the barbed wire fence. The huge impact force caused the entire barbed wire fence to be displaced ten or twenty steps by the Tatar cavalry as they hit the front of the formation.
.
The Tatar cavalry who rushed into the barbed wire fence were pricked by sharp iron thorns and were covered in blood and lacerations. Those who were unlucky had their blood vessels slashed, their throats cut, and their eyeballs pierced.
The Tatar soldiers and horses struggled and screamed in the barbed wire fence. The more they struggled, the harder it became to get rid of the entanglement, which made the wounds on their bodies deeper, longer, and more painful.
The pain of these Tatar cavalry quickly disappeared, because the arrows in front of the Ming army's formation were like rain, and the blunderbuss roared. The opponent was blocked dozens of steps away, like dried fish drying on the net, and they were completely live targets.
Rows of arrows and bullets quickly harvested their lives, allowing their pain to be taken away by death.
In less than a cup of tea, the Tatar cavalry's indomitable charge from all directions was abruptly stopped, followed by a sharp increase in casualties. Countless Tatar cavalry were blocked by steel blades and barbed wire fences.
Within an awkward distance, he became the target of the Ming army in vain.
Some Tatar cavalry did not believe in evil and tried to break through the obstacles with all their strength. But they did. On the south side, a team of 10,000 people led by Yisima forced a charge. More than a hundred cavalry rushed into one place and forcibly used the corpses of men and horses to cut the barbed wire fence.
A gap was opened. The following cavalry charged through the gap more than ten feet wide with all their might.
The position they chose was very clever. There were no Ming army gunmen here, only some archers. After the breakthrough here, it was difficult for the Ming army to kill the charging cavalry in time. As long as dozens more cavalry rushed into the Ming army's formation, the follow-up
Then there will be a steady stream of cavalry rushing in.

But something horrifying happened to them. Hundreds of horsemen swooped out from the gap towards the Ming army formation. The sporadic arrow rain could not stop them. But at this moment, a series of shots rang out from the Ming army formation.
A roar like exploding beans.
In an instant, countless bullets were fired intensively, killing all the hundreds of cavalrymen in a very short time. The men and horses fell to the ground, and the closest distance to the Ming army camp was only more than ten steps away.
Some Tatar cavalry saw the fire-breathing monster. It was a thing erected on a simple mud fortification on the edge of the Ming army camp. Just now, many Tatar cavalry saw it spraying fire and mowing down more than a hundred cavalrymen.
The situation of falling off the horse.
Yisima also saw it. He used a telescope to see the whole process from a hundred steps away. He saw the two Ming soldiers controlled by the soldiers, burning, and in a very short period of time, all the more than a hundred of his men were swept off the horse.
monster.
Obviously, it was a kind of firearm. The Ming army actually had such terrifying firearms and such sophisticated defensive methods, so how could they attack? All charges seemed to be about death.
On the northern battlefield, Batu Munch witnessed everything. When he saw through the telescope the rows of sharp-edged horses cutting open the flesh and blood of the cavalry, Batu Munch cursed repeatedly.
He was so angry at the cunningness of the Ming army that they actually set up such a highly lethal obstacle in front of the battle. Seeing the scene where hundreds of cavalrymen were turned upside down and their bodies were flying everywhere in an instant, Batu Munch felt regretful in his heart.
When he heard that charges in other directions had been blocked by barbed wire and that the number of casualties on three sides had reached as many as three to four thousand, Batu Munch almost vomited blood.
The cost of this attack was huge. So many troops had been killed and wounded before the Ming army's defense line could be broken through. This was simply unacceptable to him.
"Great Khan, the Ming army's firepower is fierce. Otherwise, we should withdraw our troops. Find a way to break through their defenses and then fight? The casualties will be too serious." Tur Jiang suggested in a deep voice.
Kou Kou five six 37 four three land seven five
"What are you talking about? Anyone who says such things again will be beheaded immediately. Send the order, charge for me! Turjiang, you lead the charge for me. No retreat! No retreat, do you hear me? Anyone who retreats will die."
Batu Munch roared loudly. He couldn't care about anything at the moment. Since he had paid a huge price, he naturally could not return in defeat. He had to break through the Ming army's camp. Even if he piled corpses, he had to break through the Ming army's defense line.
.If we retreat this time, we won’t have to fight the Ming army in the future. It will destroy the morale of the army and make them feel timid when they see the Ming army. That is more terrible than killing or injuring some soldiers.
Under the supervision of generals at all levels, the Tatar cavalry charged desperately towards the Ming army's formation.
The Tatar cavalry on the north side wanted to jump over the Juma. However, the sharp jagged steel blade above the half-human-high Juma was designed to prevent the opponent from leaping over.
Most of the Tatar cavalry who wanted to cross over failed to succeed. Their sharp teeth cut open the horse's belly, and the horse neighed and rolled to the ground. The soldiers on the horse fell to the grass, and the Ming army was in a state of complete disarray.
The arrows from the firearms naturally killed them quickly.
However, the number of Tatar cavalry is huge, and continuous charges will naturally be effective.
In front of the formation on the north side, the number of Tatar casualties has exceeded 2,000, but they still rushed over in a steady stream. Under the continuous impact, the steel-edged horses were forcibly knocked open by flesh and blood bodies. Some positions
It was filled with the corpses of men and horses, forming a staircase passage for corpses.
In other places, the barbed wire fence could not withstand repeated charges. The Tatars used their flesh and blood to break through the shackles of the barbed wire fence and break out of many gaps.
Half an hour after the battle began, the peripheral horse and barbed wire defenses were completely breached, and the Tatar cavalry, with more than 6,000 casualties and casualties, swarmed towards the Ming army's formation.
Batu Meng let out a long breath. He knew that the killing moment for the Tatar cavalry had arrived. Seventy thousand cavalry rushed into the Ming army's formation. Soon the Ming army would have heads rolling in and blood flowing into rivers. The price paid before would also be lost.
Get them all back.
