Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 881: Altan Khan's Choice: Fight or Run?

The battle outside Anping Town, with the arrival of the Tartar cavalry, entered a new state!

Facing the attack from both sides, Tang Jun did not lose his position. The main force of the strategic reserve team that had been prepared for a long time, the Guards and the Ninth Infantry Division, immediately set up a dense square and hollow on the west side of the battlefield. phalanx!

They, hold your chest high!

They, confidently listed the phalanx to face the possible attack of the Tartar cavalry!

At the same time, in the center of the battlefield, the 6th Infantry Division almost destroyed the right flank of the Ming army. They defeated one Ming army formation after another.

Even though the right wing of the Ming army was reinforced by 20,000 troops from the middle army of the Ming army, the 20,000 Ming army did not change the collapse of the right wing of the Ming army!

It's not that they didn't say that it had no effect at all. At the very least, they blocked the 6th Infantry Division for a while, which extended the time for the collapse of the right wing of the Ming army.

but!

However, the right wing of the Ming army still inevitably collapsed!

In the head-to-head confrontation between the two sides, about 20,000 people on the right wing of the Ming army, plus 20,000 people in subsequent reinforcements, were successively defeated by the left wing of the Tang army with the 6th Infantry Division as the core!

In this direction, the Ming army clearly concentrated at least twice the strength of the army, but it was still unable to stop the attack of the Tang army!

This!

This is the strength gap between the two sides!

And this kind of gap, Emperor Zhengde already knew in advance, and had heard countless people say it, but before that, he still had a certain illusion, he believed that even if the combat effectiveness of his own troops was a little worse, but in the In this kind of frontal confrontation, if you invest twice your troops, you should at least be evenly matched.

However, the reality ruthlessly gave him a slap in the face!

Ming army right wing!

collapsed!

At the beginning, there were more than 20,000 people, then more than 40,000 people. They were completely defeated by Tang Jun's left wing with wave after wave of fierce offensive, leaving them not even the slightest chance to rearrange their formation and stabilize the front!

The three main infantry regiments of the 6th Infantry Division even began to disperse, and then each chased the Ming army, and in front of each main infantry regiment, there were at least twice as many Ming soldiers!

Everywhere!

Looking up, all the mountains and plains are the soldiers who fled the Ming army!

Tens of thousands of people are running on the field without any organization and without any hope. They don't even know where they should run. They just run with their heads down, towards poetry and the distance!

Because behind them, the fierce Tang Jun is chasing after them!

The right wing of the Ming army has completely collapsed, and the middle and left wing of the Ming army are now facing the most severe test!

The left wing is better, because the terrain here is more complicated, and the Ming army occupied several low hilltops to arrange defense lines, so this is not the main attack direction of the Tang army.

The main offensive and defensive line of the Tang army was undoubtedly the right wing of the Ming army at the beginning, but now, when the right wing of the Ming army completely collapsed, the main force of the Chinese army attacked directly and attacked the main force of the Ming army. The left-wing troops such as the Sixth Infantry Division also gave up continuing to pursue the rout of the Ming army, but began to turn sharply.

Then move forward in the opposite column!

If the 6th Infantry Division on the left flank of the Tang Army completes its turn and then moves towards the flank of the Ming Army's central army, then it can basically declare the end of the Ming army's central army!

In response to the main attack of the Tang army's central army, they are already very difficult, especially the artillery of the Tang army's first artillery group, and they are always firing at the key gathering points of the Ming army's central army!

At this moment, the first artillery group, the artillery positions of the Chinese army, together, at least 150 artillery pieces were aimed at the central army of the Ming army, which made the central army of the Ming army bear huge pressure!

And this kind of pressure is something they have never endured!

It is not that the Ming army has not endured the more violent artillery shelling of the Tang army. In the battle of Yangzhou, the defenders in the city have endured the indiscriminate bombardment of 200 artillery pieces, and the shelling at that time lasted for several days.

However, the defenders in the city at that time had the protection of the city defense fortifications. Although the artillery fire of the Tang army was fierce, it at most caused damage to the defending forces at the front of the city, and more Ming troops could hide behind the city wall.

But today!

They are fighting in the wild!

If the artillery of the army can still fire safely in the artillery position that has been constructed, but the infantry in a huge and dense phalanx are listed, they can only be hard and fierce shelling!

They have no fortifications to rely on, and even if there are, they can't shrink behind the fortifications, let alone get down!

Because the opposite is the same large number of Tang army middle army, their dense phalanx is continuing to advance, you run away, lie down to avoid the artillery fire, but how can you fight in formation?

Today, the frontal confrontation of this kind of infantry phalanx is almost unimaginable without a phalanx. At that time, the Ming army with a scale of tens of thousands of people will probably be defeated directly without shelling, and it is still The kind that collapses at a touch.

Therefore, although the Ming army suffered the casualties of the shelling, they still did not dare to disperse!

Instead, they started taking the initiative to push forward, trying to change the current disadvantage!

The current situation on the battlefield, for the Ming army, is almost on the verge of complete collapse!

And what are the Tatars doing? What is Altan Khan doing?

On the west side of the battlefield, Altan Khan is contemplating at this time!

He felt that today's battle was too strange, and since the morning, it has been out of his expectations!

In the morning, he thought that the Ming army and Tang army should be able to fight and lose both, but two hours later, others told him that the Ming army was about to die.

Then he led the cavalry to attack, but he did not order any of the cavalry to attack, but stayed a thousand meters away when he came to the battlefield, because he saw that the Tang army had already dispatched at least 30,000 people to form an array meet yourself.

Seeing this scene, he knew that his goal was achieved, because Tang Jun sent 30,000 people to face him, which means that he successfully contained at least 30,000 Tang Jun!

In this way, the pressure on the Ming army will be greatly reduced!

But the next scene made him frown!

Those **** Ming troops, just like the muddy mud, have contained at least 30,000 Tang troops for them, but the more than 100,000 Ming troops are still unable to stop the attack of the less than 70,000 Tang troops!

Omg!

The old man of Zhengde had the advantage of twice the strength of the army, but he was defeated in a mess.

Son of a bitch, when did these Ming Jun become so soft? When they fought with Lao Tzu in the past few years, they were quite good at fighting. Why did they immediately become soft-footed shrimp when they met Tang Jun?

I don't understand Khan!

In fact, he was completely unable to understand the battle in front of him!

While the Tang army was splitting up 30,000 troops to prepare for their own cavalry, the remaining 60,000-70,000 people were able to scramble the Ming army of 112,000 to 120,000!

Is this my own mistake?

On the opposite side is the Ming Army?

If this continues, I am afraid that the Ming army will be completely finished.

Even if it is a little far away, he can see that the Ming army's central army is already crumbling.

If it goes on like this, the Ming army's central army will be completely finished. When the central army is finished, will the left wing of the Ming army still be able to do it? Just kidding, it is estimated that the left wing of the Ming army will collapse without fighting.

We can't continue to wait like this, otherwise, when the Ming army collapses, he will have to return to the grasslands with cavalry in a dreadful way, and it's great to loot on the way back.

At that time, let's not talk about going south and occupying the Central Plains. Even the important cities in Jiubianli that were forcibly taken over from the Ming army would have to be surrendered, because Altan Khan knew very well that there was no Ming army standing in front of him. The cavalry was absolutely unable to defend those cities.

And you can imagine how you will use your toes in the future!

He will return to the grasslands himself, and the Tang army will recover the border towns and cities, and then form a large-scale cavalry to enter the grasslands, repeating the tradition of the past thousands of years: when the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, it would always take the initiative to attack the grassland forces!

Can't wait any longer!

Altan Khan will never be reconciled to go back in such a disheartened way!

This chance to go south can be said to be the best and only chance for the grassland people to go south to the Central Plains in the past two hundred years.

so!

He drew his machete!

He raised his machete!

Then point to the Tang army formation in front: "The whole army assaults and tore the Tang army's defense line!"

Altan Khan, as the most outstanding hero of the Mongolian grasslands in recent decades, no one dares to obey his orders!

As a result, countless Tartar cavalry began to roar out!

Because of the large number of Tatar cavalry, it is naturally impossible to rush up all at once. They are divided into three armies, left and right. About 20,000 cavalry of the left army rushed to the front line of the Tang army's west front, which is the side of the guards. At the rear of the Guards are the 6th Infantry Division and other left-wing troops of the Tang Army, including the First Artillery Group. At this moment, the Tang Army's left wing and the first artillery are all attacking the Ming Army's central flank~www. wuxiaspot.com~ Trying to cooperate with Tang Junzhongjun to completely lay the victory

The other army, the right army, about 10,000 cavalry, rushed to the west of the Tang army and slightly to the south. There was the direction of the ninth infantry division, and behind the ninth infantry division was the Tang army. The real rear, there is the rear camp of the Tang army, and it is also the location of the main artillery position!

And Altan Khan personally followed with 20,000 Chinese cavalry in the rear!

Just look at the arrangement of Altan Khan, that is to know that his main attack direction is the guards, trying to defeat the guards, and then flank the left flank of the Tang army to save the dangerous defeat of the Ming army!

But, can Altan Khan's arrangement be successful?

Can the Guards stop the attack of 20,000 Tartar cavalry?
