Valley Emperor

Altan Khan can guarantee that today's battle is the most bizarre battle in his countless battles over the decades!

He has met countless opponents on the grasslands, and he has not experienced defeats during this period, but most of the time, he is able to lead his cavalry to victory.

Even in the face of the huge Ming Dynasty, the Tatar cavalry he led was able to dominate most of the time and firmly grasp the strategic initiative.

And what he relies on is the elite cavalry under his command!

But today, the cavalry, who used to be almost invincible in the past, seems to have encountered a nemesis!

The cavalry and shooting that the Tatars are most proud of is useless against the infantry phalanx of the Shangtang Army!

Even though their high cavalry and archery skills brought a certain degree of damage to the Tang army's infantry formation, it was far from enough!

Even the Tang Army infantry they killed and wounded were not as many as their own!

And this is a duel between cavalry and infantry, and the Tatar cavalry is the attacker who occupies the strategic initiative, but now, what Altan Khan sees is absolutely unreasonable!

He couldn't understand why his 20,000 cavalrymen rushed up, and his performance on the battlefield was as strong as ever, but why was he pressed and beaten from beginning to end?

How many of the more than 10,000 cavalrymen who rushed into the many small square formations of the Tang army finally came out alive?

There is something wrong with this phalanx of Tang Jun, there is absolutely a problem!

Even Altan Khan still doesn't understand why his own cavalry failed miserably. He had too little time for careful analysis on the battlefield, but the facts in front of him and his intuition told him that the problem was definitely not how strong Tang Jun was, or even how strong Tang Jun was. It's not because of how powerful Tang Jun's guns are, but because of their phalanx!

This phalanx is simply unheard of!

Four-cornered square, he knows this, because the Ming army has also used it, um, it is also copied from the Tang army!

However, the four-cornered phalanx was characterized by its ability to defend against cavalry attacks, but in terms of firepower, to be honest, the arquebuses in the four corners were simply not comparable to the arrows projected by the roaring cavalry.

But in front of these hollow phalanxes with no spearmen at all, it seems that there are only musketeers, and they seem to be even thinner, but Altan Khan can see now that their formation is actually denser than the square phalanx.

Without the protection of spearmen, the number of musketeers has more than doubled, and their musketeers are almost crowded when they are lined up, which is completely different from arquebuses, which is why , the cavalry of one's own side in the process of charging and the process of shooting against the bows and arrows, the firepower density is almost four times or even more than five times that of the square phalanx used by the Ming army!

Damn it!

When Alta Khan was apologetic, the Tartar cavalry finally passed through the endless Tang army formation, then went around the passages on both sides, and then continued to run away without looking back on their horses. Chasing them as if there were devils behind them!

The brief engagement just a few minutes ago was a nightmare for these Tartar cavalrymen. Now, the dream finally woke up, and they finally escaped alive.

But behind these successfully escaped Tatar cavalry, there are countless fallen Tatar cavalry!

Not dozens or hundreds, but thousands!

Altan Khan at the rear just took a little look, that is, roughly estimated the number of cavalry that escaped. There were about 10,000 cavalry. In addition to the more than 4,000 cavalry who retreated in advance and did not participate in the attack, the number of cavalry who successfully retreated was only 14,000. Thousand rides!

And what does this represent?

This means that a full 6,000 riders did not come back!

They lost the frontal firepower of the Tang army's infantry phalanx in the initial charge on the road, and more was lost to the multi-faceted crossfire of the Tang army after rushing in!

And this result almost made Altan Khan unable to look directly. Rao is that he is a prairie hero who has been fighting for many years and has already developed a strong heart, but he still cannot accept this result!

The opposite is not cavalry, but infantry, not even heavy armored infantry, they are just a group of musketeers, even if they are equipped with breastplates, they are still musketeers, and their strength is actually less than their own. 20,000 rides!

However, the result now is that his 20,000 cavalrymen were defeated!

Damn it!

Altan Khan clenched his fists and took a few deep breaths. He glanced at the Tang Army Guards formation in front of him, and looked at the phalanx of the Tang Army's Ninth Infantry Division next to him. He was struggling in his heart. !

Will this battle continue?

It is absolutely inadvisable to continue to charge the hollow square formations of Tang Jun, but the square formations on the other side of Tang Jun are the square formations he has already seen. If he uses the main force to charge again, it is extremely May break through Tang Jun's position.

But in this way, how many more casualties will our cavalry have?

Five thousand?

Ten thousand?

And even if he was lucky enough to break through the phalanx of the Tang army, thus causing the defeat of the Tang army, how should he face the Ming army?

At that time, the cavalry of one's own side suffered heavy casualties, and the Tang army was defeated. This is a loss for both sides. Is it time to let the Ming army take advantage of it?

Damn, he didn't come to help the Ming army to fight. The lives of the Tatar cavalry were definitely not used to help the Ming army change the crisis, and let him spend the lives of tens of thousands of cavalry soldiers just to save the Ming army, let alone He would not, and all the Tatars would not agree.

After pondering for a while, Altan Khan finally made his decision!

"let's go!"

There are several other Tatar generals who want to say something, but they don't need to listen to what they say. They are not reconciled. They want to go south to the Central Plains, and they also want to avenge their dead comrades.

But today's battle can't go on any longer!

He only brought more than 50,000 cavalry to the south. He lost 4,000 in Liangshanji. Today, he lost 6,000 dead and injured outside Anping Town. This adds up to the loss of more than 10,000 cavalry. I don't know how many Tatar cavalry I can bring back to the steppe alive in the end!

Moreover, the casualties have exceeded one-fifth, which has a great impact on the morale of the military!

In particular, the 20,000 cavalry failed to charge just now, but instead lost their soldiers, which made many Tartar cavalrymen feel a sense of fear about the Tang army's phalanx!

If they are allowed to attack Tang Jun's phalanx again, I am afraid that some people will mutiny on the spot!

Forget it, the dream of going south to the Central Plains is not a dream!

Although the dream is good, the reality is too cruel. What he has to do now is to wake himself up from the dream and recover the losses as much as possible!

Thousands of cavalry were killed and wounded. Although the losses were great, all the casualties were the cavalry of the collateral tribes. It had little impact on the Altan Khan's direct line tribe, because his direct line cavalry had never been on the battlefield from beginning to end.

Furthermore, this time he went south to the Central Plains, and he did not gain anything at all. At least, several important border towns in the north were half-forced and half-threatening from the Ming army. In addition, the property they looted when they went south to the Central Plains was also. Numerous, almost every Tatar cavalry who went south has more or less grabbed a satisfactory spoil of war.

enough!

So Altan Khan stopped his subordinates from speaking further and said again: "Let's go, right now!"

Although he experienced a fiasco, the prestige of Altan Khan is still very high among the Tatars. After he ordered, the Tatar cavalry, whether they wanted to or not, followed Altan Khan and began to retreat!

Tatars come fast, go fast!

They ran wildly on horseback, and within a few minutes, they walked completely, and after a while, they completely disappeared from everyone's sight!

Tatars defeated?

Tatars gone?

Emperor Zhengde was stunned, looking to the west, there was no poetry or distance, only the Tartar cavalry fleeing in embarrassment!

Because Emperor Zhengde's position was a little far from the battlefield on the west side, he saw the Tartar cavalry charging, but the details of the battle between the two sides were naturally invisible, so until now, he still does not know why the Tartar cavalry suddenly retreated , and the whole army retreats?

Didn't the Tatars just burst into the Tang army? Didn't they rush in? Why are you still retreating?

He never saw the scene of countless Tatar cavalry falling under the guns of the Guards!

He just saw the Tatar cavalry roaring away from a distance, rushing into the Tang Army Guards formation, and then withdrew after a while, and then, the remaining 40,000 Tatar cavalry ran away!

Although I still don't understand why the Tatar cavalry suddenly ran away, Emperor Zhengde knew it!

Today, he's going to play!

Today, Daming is over!

Without the restraint of the Tartar cavalry, the army under his command could not stop the fierce attack of the Tang army, and even retreated!

The Tatars are all cavalry, and they ride two or even three horses. They come and go like the wind. They come and go as they want, but the main force under his hands is the infantry!

Even though the Ming army had 10,000 cavalry, the main force of the cavalry was sent south to attack the logistics supply line of the Tang army, and only 3,000 cavalry remained in Anping Town, and these 3,000 cavalry could not even attack the artillery position of the Tang army just now. Arrived, forced to retreat after heavy losses!

When the main force was infantry, the Ming army could not retreat at all!

Emperor Zhengde can guarantee that once he gives the order to retreat, the entire army will collapse immediately!

Retreat and collapse, these are words with completely different meanings, but today, for the Ming army, there is no difference between the two!

Retreat is death, not retreat is also death!

This battle is over!

The army is about to collapse completely!

Lost in this battle~www.wuxiaspot.com~The foundation of our ancestors for two hundred years is also over!

At this moment, Emperor Zhengde closed his eyes, his face full of despair!
